Found this one on the Web: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/trip_reports/read.main/262840/.
I have been on long haul 707 flights (Air India and BOAC) between India and the US back in 65/66. Excellent service on both.My first jet trip on Pan Am was on a 707 (in Coach) back when Pan Am was considered one of the top airlines in the World!
Excellent service from the Stewardesses, ( that was their official title then, not PC now!), good food and very comfortable seats with plenty of knee room! PanAm Flight #1 used to circle the Globe!
Nice variety! How come you didn't give Douglas a break?Thinking back I just realized that the only variety of 707 that I have never been on is the 720. I have been on both the 3xx (Pratt & Whitney) and the 4xx (Rolls-Royce) variants on Air India, and the 4xx variant on BOAC. In the same era also flew on the Super VC-10 of BOAC, the Caravelle of Air France, and BAC-111 of BEA. And oh yes, a Convair 880 of TWA!
