| Joseph J. Haas, joesb47(@)hotmail.com, 29.04.2008 I flew the PAA 707's from 1965-1974 when I moved up to the B747. The 707 was a very honest aircraft for TO/CRUISE/LD. As flying with PAA took me to most places in the world it always performed as the book said it would. It handled all the wx conditions we incountered and came out unscathed and in one piece, thank goodness. Flew it for many thousands of hours, loved them all. Joseph J.
