VH-EAH (2) Boeing 707-338C
(c/n 19628)
Delivered in June of 1968, this
707 was named 'City of Perth'..
This was changed in October
of 1971 to be 'City of Launceston' as seen in
the close-up by Greg Banfield (below) taken on
the same day as the side
profile above, in June of 1976. It flew with the airline for a
decade and
then was sold to brokers
ITEL Capital Investment whose leased it to Korean Air
Lines. Greg's
shot at the foot of
the page shows it at Mascot in July of 1978 still bearing the rego
VH-EAH but
in full
Korean Air Lines livery. It then went to Iceland (TF-IUD) and
Libya (5A-DTF) before being
acquired by Northrop Grumman for
use in the Joint STARS program. In the event it was not used
in this program and
was reduced to produce at Melbourne, Fliorida in the late 1990s.
