N793NA
Boeing 707-138(B)

EgyptAir (leased from AeroAmerica)
Rare shot of this aircraft in a mixed AeroAmerica/Egyptair colour scheme.
N793NA is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07 on the regular EgyptAir Friday evening flight MS775 (CAI-ATH-MUC). Riem’s landmark radar tower is seen in the background. This aircraft was observed at Riem several times on EgyptAir flights in spring 1976 (26 March, 7 May, 14 May). It was also seen here in August 1968 as N793SA with Standard Airways and on 12 April 1973 as VP-BDE with Bahamas World on an Air France flight!
This airframe started out with Qantas in August 1959 as a Boeing 707-138 registered VH-EBE (converted to -138B standard in October 1961). VH-EBE was used for the Royal Flight from Christchurch to Canberra with HRH Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip on 18 February 1963. It went on to International Aerodyne as N793SA in May 1968 and was leased to Standard Airways (as N793SA), Pacific Western (CF-PWW), Alaska Airlines (N793SA) and Bahamas World (VP-BDE). Sold to National Aircraft Leasing in August 1974 and leased to AeroAmerica as N793NA, sub-leased to EgpytAir in 1976 and 1977. Sold to Boeing for KC-135 parts in April 1983. Last remains cut up at DMA in March 2006. (Sources: www.707.adastron.com, planelogger.com)
