This 707 was originally delivered to Pan Am as N457PA in October 1967. It flew for about one year for Pelican Cargo (G-BPAT) from June 1978 then joining Zambia Airways (9J-AEQ). In April 1986 it went to National Air Charters (also as 9J-AEQ) and then Trans Arabian Air Transport (ST-ALM) in Fenruary 1989. It was leased to AHK from May 1989 until October 1992 but re-registered ST-AMF upon its return to TAAT. The plane was damaged by fire during an aborted take-off at Jeddah (JED) in January 1994 but was repaired and returned to service. It has been stored at Khartoum (KHT) since September 2007.
