Hi ya Ethan , Yes indeedo , Pan Am flew 707s into Auckland in the late 1960s and into the early 1970s until replaced by the 747.

Just a thought as well, we had 707s in Christchurch, the QANTAS V-Jet as it was labeled , left almost every Sunday around 4.00pm .. had the short 138 series and later the 328s .

A BOAC 707 was here for the opening of Mangere...not sure whether they were scheduled visitors here.

Good thought Naki, Paul I am sure B.O.A.C was a regular and also the B.O.A.C cargo .. be well worth checking out the others .. Lufthansa/Condor was another, well worth a little research , 707s into New Zealand , course you do get the standard USAF types as well.

Done a bit more research...Air Nuigini use to fly scheduled 707s here....although not scheduled the RAAF 707s have been her on the odd occasion along with John Travolta's Qantas 707

The 138's which is JT model really are a very pretty machine, shorter with under fuselage fin .. they are the SPs of the 707s , I guess you would have to live in Auckland and been a regular out at the airport to track the first decade and follow up into mid 1980s to follow thru with 707 arrivals .
