The Boeing 707 launched the jet age for the masses, making transatlantic crossings routine. Most have retired, but a handful still fly as military tankers, AWACS platforms, and VIP transports.
Fun fact
The 707 gave us 'Air Force One' as we know it — the first jet-age presidential aircraft was a modified 707.
How to spot one
Four podded engines, narrow body, swept tail. Now mostly military variants (E-3, KE-3, E-6).
One might be overhead right now.
