Close cropped rear view of Tanker-modified Omega Boeing 707-321B N707AR (MSN 20029) on static display on Avalon's 'Heavy Metal' pad on 16Feb2003. Photo taken at the 2003 Avalon YMAV International Airshow. The aircraft was being used for AAR of RAAF Hornets, supplementing RAAF Boeing B707-338C(KC) Tanker assets. Unfortunately, this aircraft crashed at Pt Mugu California on 18May2011, bursting into flames after an engine failed on take-off. The Crew escaped, but the aircraft was a 'write-off'.
