Delivered new 17th Apr 1968 and became 9K-ACX with Kuwait Airways 27th Oct 1978

Canadian airline pioneer Max Ward passed away on November 2, 2020 at the age of 98. I wish I had something better as a "flown west" tribute, but this photo of Wardair's first 707 on a grey day in Toronto was all I had ready. With the airline's operation center across the street in the background, Wardair was Canada's premier charter airline.

Wardair entered the jet age with Canada's first Boeing 727 in 1966. The 727 was a little short on range to operate Wardair's trans-Atlantic charters profitably and they ordered this 707 to expand and make money on the routes. "C. H. "Punch" Dickens" was delivered April 17, 1968 and was joined later by another 707 (CF-ZYP) from a cancelled Quebecair order. C-FFAN was sold in 1978 with the aircraft ending it's days in Miami, broken up there in 1996.
