US Boeing 707-321 Pan American Passenger Aircraft.

The Boeing 707 was an American four-engine narrow-body airliner. The prototype first flew in 1954, with series production running from 1958 to 1979. Boeing went on to build long-range jets for a series of international airlines, beginning with orders from Pan American World Airways. During the 1960s Pan Am was considered the world’s most glamorous airline, and at the centre of its success between 1963 and 1968 was the Boeing 707-321, which became the most famous airliner of its era.

The 707 remained in service into the early 2000s in Africa, Latin America, and other regions – and notably with actor John Travolta, who once owned aircraft N707JT (the final two letters of the registration represented his initials). Military and freighter versions of the Boeing 707 are still in use today and are expected to continue flying until around 2040.
