The military plane was bringing red meat from Kyrgyzstan.
Too much chelokabab can kill you!
They're still flying 707s. Unbelievable.
Never underestimate the power of stupidity!
Looks like the pilot landed at the wrong airport due to poor visibility and overshot the runway
mistakes happens I suppose. old planes flying all over the world is nothing new . You have a famous DC-8 plane that researchers use day in day out to map and do research in south pole.

no , this kind of mistakes dont just happen! This only happens when you give the control of a very sophisticated flying machine to a Koreh khar Joo hating Moozlim!
yes, red meet is bad for your health ! So watch it!!!
Are there any Boeing 707s still flying?
Quora:
Genuine airline or freighter B-720’s (short range model) and B-707-Series aircraft, no, there are none currently operating. There are some very VERY close cousins still flying as KC-135 variants with NATO and the USAF as refueling tankers and AWAC’s aircraft.
The last official airline variant to fly scheduled service I believe was an Iran Air model that flew domestic routes using a B-707–300 and was retired in 2013. YouTube Aviation enthusiast Sam Chui went to Iran to fly aboard one of their last remaining B-707’s that year.
I’m not sure when the last freighter version flew because there really are no requirements to log such events when they were flying. Several American owned 707 freighters likely flew on routes in South America at least until 2005.
What's the option when Boeing and Airbus don't sell you a plane and they have a monoploy? down the road chinese planes will hit the sky and there will be more alternatives for now 'haminy ke hast'
MRX,
I bet you know the option(s). Option number one is joining the free world.
