Its good to see these classic birds are still flying, must be treat a to see in real life. It also tell how airplanes were made to last back then compared to now days (AIRBUS Crap!!)

Actually airplanes now are built to last even longer. You must also take into account the fact that the planes today fly heavier loads, fly for a longer duration at a time, are pretty much maintainable in every other country and over all, clock in more hours.

There is also a JAR aviation B720 (Business jet I think) which flies ... photos from 2005 or 2006 are available on a.net also, there is a Saudi B720 business jet but haven't been heard of for couple of years now.

I think B720 are the rarest boeings still flying.

I don't know about JAR's B720 but i do know Saudi royal fleet have HM3/4 that is B707-368 and not B720, if there is another one there now, is that beyond my knowledge and i like to know about it.

Ali, I referred to Airbus aircraft which only have shelf service life Vs life time service abilities as Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed aircraft have....
