Israeli 707 visits Warsaw again

The sound of four turbojets alerted me to the fact that something unusual was landing - an Israeli Air Force Boeing 707. Repainted in darker grey, and shot against the morning sun, the pic's not too detailed, but you can see that the cabin lights have been left on for landing (click to enlarge).

I've photographed IAF Boeing 707s before; this one is without the in-flight refuelling boom that was present on previous visitors of this type. For spotters - this is a Boeing 707-366C of 120 'Desert Giants' Sqn based at Nevatim Airbase, serial number 295, built in 1974. That's 37 years in the air!

This time last year:
