The article currently says "Boeing abandoned the program, since it felt it would be a threat to the Boeing 757 program." This is not true, the problem was that airlines did not want to plunk down the 10.4 million to convert them. I've got a bunch of other info on the development, marketing, and pitch with this plane, does anybody think it warrants its own footnote distinct from the paper airplanes like the 620 and 820? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgw89 ( talk • contribs) 04:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I want to know what the range of the 707-138 is. I've looked everywhere but I don't see the actual number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.191.59.88 ( talk) 10:43, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

One of the 707's most distinctive features is the antenna that protrudes forward from the top of the aircraft's tail. I was surprised to see that there's no mention of this in the article. Some explanation would be helpful. Thanks. 64.185.129.173 ( talk) 20:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

So what is a Boeing 707-436 then? It isn't listed in the variants, all you have is a "707-420" which is supposed to be the variant sold to BOAC, but the photograph right next to it is of a BOAC "707-436 in 1970". I came here to find out what a -436 was, since I've seen models of it and videos on Youtube, but it doesn't tell me.

This article's lead says "As of July 2017, there were no active 707s in commercial airline service." This article 2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash shows that could not have been the case, because the plane involed in the crash was in service for a commercial airline between May 2016 and January 2019. Since the source with information for the lead is inaccurate, we don't know if there weren't/aren't others in service. Any way to find this out? If not, we should at least remove the text in question. -- HighFlyingFish ( talk) 21:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Although the current picture is nice and crisp, I'm not sure it's representative as it shows a very rare -138 shrink (1.5% of all 707s), and it could be mistaken for the slightly shorter Boeing 720. The much more widespread -320 (two thirds of all 707s) should be more representative. The Pan Am has a similar depiction and the Western is an interesting air-to-air picture, showing the fuselage unobstructed. Both are grainy pictures, but it's a part of the era. The RAAF is a recent, crisp picture but the unusual operator may be distracting, as is the Saha one, but it is notable as the last passenger carrier.-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 17:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
