Boeing 707-123B Inflight AIR-TO-AIR Circa 1970 – FOUND FOOTAGE Discovery
Details
As explained by JetFlix TV founder Henry Tenby, he was very lucky in finding a long lost 35mm high quality motion picture film reel that contained some unbelievable “never before seen” classic jetliner footage.
For some reason the film was shot on Hollywood movie high quality 35mm film stock. This is the type of movie film used for Hollywood film releases up until well into the 1970s.
This was an air to air filming of a Boeing 707-123B in American Airlines newly introduced colour scheme of the later 1960s, which replaced the iconic American Airlines red thunderbolt colour scheme.
We do not know who made this film, but it was a cast off that was probably destined for the rubbish bin half a century ago and somehow survived, only to be found by Henry Tenby and digitized for everyone’s viewing enjoyment. The digitization of this film preserves it in digital state forever. We hope you enjoy the film and appreciate how special this film is for classic airline fans like us.

Great footage of the American AL aircraft, however, this is a Boeing 720B I believe, not a 707-120B. Was not able to make out the reg # but going by the lack of the fin antenna and the wing cowling and also it appears that the fuselage is also a bit shorter than the 707-120B.

After doing a bit of research and viewing a few close ups of this film I was able to just make out the aircraft registration as being N7528A which would indeed make it a Boeing 720B.
Regardless….it makes it a great contribution. Thank you Henry.
Cheers….Herman
Great work Herman! Thank you for pointing this out. The Boeing 707-123B and 720 as so close in visual appearance. They are both fantastic looking classic jetliners, I love them both!
