Photo Comment

Built in 1959, it still has the early short fin which had been modified by 1967 (Photo ID: 34529). Likely here returning to the USA after serving as the press and support aircraft for President Eisenhower's European tour. It is believed to be on the only ever visit by a TWA 707-131 to Europe . Crashed on take-off at Santa Cruz (SLVR) on 13 October 1976 while on lease to Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano as N730JP.
