Freshly painted, N107BN is seen here undergoing the last stages of its pre-delivery overhaul. Qantas sold four of its 707-138Bs to Braniff. They had been custom made for Qantas with fuselages shorter than the standard 707-100 for better performance out of restricted airports. Braniff's need for special performance on South America routes had seen it became the only operator of the 707-200, a -100 series with the more powerful JT4A engines from the -300 series.
