SX-DBE "City of Pella"

Boeing 707-384B

Olympic Airways

 

SX-DBE is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07. The aircraft was also noted at Riem on 18 April 1982.

 

Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Alastair T. Gardiner:

This 707 was originally delivered to Olympic in December 1968. The plane was acquired by Aircrew Leasing in April 1990 as N6504K and leased to Guyana Airways as EL-AKB in August that same year. However, it was ferried to AMARC in November 1990 and parted out to support the USAF C-135/KC-135 fleet. The hulk was finally scrapped in February 2013.
