The third of four Boeing 707s purchased by Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas in the 1960s had a notorious yet forgotten history: It was the first Argentine airliner to be hijacked ever, brought Juan D. Per\u00f3n definitively back home in a special charter flight in 1973, flew the 1986 football world cup champions from Mexico and was Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas longest-lived Seven-Oh-Seven… but it was ignominously scrapped after 35 years in service!<\/p>\n

Our subject was the 543rd Boeing 707 built in Seattle (Washington, USA), wore c\/n 19240<\/strong> and spent its career with only two known operators and registrations, Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas’ LV-ISD (1966-1985 and 1987-1993) and Uruguay PLUNA’s CX-BOH (1986-1987), also wearing two basic Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas liveries: “Condor + AA tail”<\/strong> adopted in the mid-1960’s and “AA hockey stick”<\/strong> of the mid-1970s.<\/p>\n
