It might be a Boeing 720 (essentially a shorter-range version of the 707).GreasenUSA said:With the tail assembly and shorter length, I was leaning towards DC-8 instead of 707. Didn't realize they had variants of the 707 without the antenna, though.The Fife said:Vickers Viscount 800, Wiki says they were retired in 1967BrazosBendHorn said:GreasenUSA said:727 in the background, and then a DC-6? in the bottom pic?

Not sure but what it was a DC-6 or a Vickers Viscount.
I'm petty sure the background of the top picture is a 707 variant from the wing and visible pylon, and the HF antenna is just lost in the background.

Speaking of the 707 antenna, it always makes me think of this album art from long, long ago ...
(This was before The Alvin Show, so the Chipmunks were drawn differently back then)
Not sure what the heck "visual sound stereo" is supposed to be ...

They had these things on the wings back then.
Trump will fix it.
