- In my opinion the Boeing 707 is one of the best planes which have ever been built. It` s definitly a pleasure to see an airplane from another century still operating daily in Germany. The shown Boeing 707-TCA is retired now but the B707-E3A Awacs planes are still flying daily. I made this footage at Geilenkirchen, Germany which is the homebase of the Awacs planes owened by the NATO.

I'm a 707-300 flight engineer and this bring joy to my heart. I Love the this great old lady she was fun to fly.
Worked at Boeing flight test doing INS tests on a 707-320C and 70700 (dash 80) back in the day. Gravel runway cert on 737-200. Lots and lots of miles and lot's and lot's of flight lunches....LOL
Earth: How much pollution are you gonna throw in to my air
Boeing 707: Yes
lol
💀💀😂
🤣 I don't think the environment was high on the lists of concerns back in the late 50's and 60's when it was Queen of the skies.
Perfectly said!
The Convair 880 and 990 were pretty good at spewing out the smoke as well.
Flew on one across the Pacific in 1967 when I was about 8 years old. To me, the 707 is still the most beautiful civil airliner ever built.
jez youre old
Yes. The experience was special and far better than today’s Bus service
It really shows how far engine and fuel tech has come. Bigger engines today, burning less fuel with cleaner emissions.
and lower noise... Ouch my ears!..
L4br4「ネオ新宿パーク」
I love the noise. I was a country kid up until 11. The best we ever saw of machines like this was a little blip 37,000 feet in the air with a vapor trail behind it. We moved to about 5 min flight time from the city. On the day we moved, we got there after the curfew and finally got to sleep. When the first planes came roaring over the house at 700 feet at 6 am the next morning, I was hooked from then on. I'd gladly trade places with someone that lives under a flightpath close to the airport.
No Shit Sherlock. Any other obvious statements?......
David Horgan uuuuuh?
What a fuel consumption!! What a pollution!!.
Love it. There's an old saying associated with the 707's: If it aint smokin' it must be broken.
We've lost engine one...and engine two is no longer on fire
@@rossm.1138 it's an entirely different kind if flying altogether
I remember when I was 7 or 8 my parents used to take me to watch airplanes take off and land. This was in the mid 1960s. I remember seeing Boeing 707s getting on the runway to take off and when the flight crews spooled up all 4 P&W JT3 engines, I could swear the ground shook as the engines roared and the aircraft rolled for take-off. It was definitely an awesome sight.
MagnumMike44 Okay grandpa, back to the nursing home.
Hey old dude
Hah..! Wish you could have seen a 4-engined DC-4 or DC-6 get up and go.... Now that's aviation with a Bang and a Whoomph....
You are 68 yrs old now!!
Don’t Read My Profile Picture shut your dumbass up
The Boeing 707 was the most wonderful looking airliner ever ,it was perfect.
I can't believe these plane are still flying. Wow.
Yup, things in the past were built to last
Same here
cell pat, true
As pilote it's easy ,but technician on this aircraft, the story it's not the same...
cell pat
As with cars!
Look at that exhaust, and listen to the scream of those engines! I very well remember that from my time living in the flight path of JFK (circa 1969). I also remember the smell of spent kerosine inside the 707. It was a sort-of rich, oily scent. I flew on a 707, once, from Atlanta to LAX. There was something very exciting about the little bit of spent kerosine smell inside the cabin of this aircraft.
Today's jet planes are better but far less exciting.
The flaps on this aircraft seem huge, and its engines appear tiny.
Boa
New turbofans are HUGE because the high amount of bypass air needed for cleaner more efficient combustion. Also less noisy and less exciting ....
That's _kerosene_ , FYI. Unless that's a regional spelling or something.
No, it's "bypass" air because it has nothing to do with combustion. It is a more efficient way of absorbing the energy released by the fuel and translating it to movement, by accelerating a large amount of air more slowly, rather than a small amount of air to very high speed, like a turbojet. It's all about mass x velocity = thrust.
justforever96
You are right ... i explained wrongly .. bypass air has NOTHING to do with combustion. My bad. Keep engine cooler. Reduce noise. Also new engines need BIG intakes as per huge amount of air necessary for cleaner conbustion on higher power engines.
Yes its a smoker, yeah it's loud, less fuel efficient, but damn it I love era of aviation, well I grew up with it, how I always longed as a kid to be positioned at the New Jersey Turnpike's exit 14a Newark Toll plaza with a B 707 coming in to land.The toll plaza was right over the glide path , sheer heaven.
It must have been quite a sight to see planes passing below the toll booth.
I like the old jt3c turbojets the water injection was cool to see of course I can only see it on video because they got rid of the old turbojets when I was a baby the military still used them in the late 80s but I was just 5 to 6 years old when the military still used them so unfortunately I never got to see them in action live but I can see them on TH-cam but I still wish I could've seen the water injection old turbojets live
@@kirbyvanduzer6565 You should have seen the effects of water injection when the KC-135s were still using the J57. They would put at least five birds ahead of the B52s in the air during a Victor Alert and the smoke would block out the Sun. 😎
@@Darknamja I saw a video of bombers and kc135 tankers with the j57 turbojets right here on TH-cam it was unreal the smoke was literally just as bad as you said it was cool though wish I could have seen it live
Agreed. The 707 was still my favorite jet of all time. It reminds me of my childhood when we used to fly overseas twice a year to Europe on Sabena Airlines from South Africa. A 12 to 13 hour flight.
What a classic beauty! I just love the scream of those old turbofans and that black smoke belching out. May not be exactly "environmentally friendly"........but it sure does look awesome!
Those are turbojets, actually.
Mackenzie Lodge You say this is a turbojet, if so then it must follow there is a non-turbojet, so, what is the difference between the two?
varigdc10 These are actually TURBOFAN engines.......the other person was incorrect.
I'm not a teacher, but I'll try my best to explain it to you. :)
A pure TURBOJET engine is one that doesn't have any bypass air.......100% of the air passes through the engine core giving you the thrust. A TURBOFAN is basically a turbojet engine that has a large fan strapped to the front of it. With a turbofan, a much smaller percentage of the air actually goes through the engine core. Much of the air from the fan is ducted AROUND the core of the engine. For instance, in modern turbofans, approximately 20% of the air passes through the core....the other 80% passes around the center core section, and is propelled by the large front fan that you can see spinning on the front of the engine. The air that actually passes through the engine core is compressed, mixed with fuel and ignited....the hot pressurized gases that are produced drive that large front fan, which itself produces most of the actual thrust for the engine.
Modern turbofans are called HIGH BYPASS turbofan engines because most (about 80%) of the air bypasses the engine core. Older turbofan engines like the ones you see on this 707 were called LOW BYPASS turbofans, because a much smaller percentage of the air bypassed the engine core (approx. 50% or even less).
I hope that makes some sense to you....again.....I'm not a teacher. :)
Mackenzie Lodge This 707 actually has turboFAN engines..........they're obviously quite "primitive" by today's standards, but they're good old low bypass turbofans. The 707 was indeed originally powered with turbojets, but newer versions of the old girl came equipped with turbofans, and all the older 707's were ultimately retrofitted with turbofans as well.
turbofanlover Don't mean to be an ass, I know this, was looking for the magic word HIGH-BYPASS, thank you for being so knowledgeable on the subject, and, you can be very good aeronautical instructor, go for it, talk with GE, Rolls, P & W or CFM !
This video actually got me to really appreciate how beautiful the 707 really is. I love all of Boeings lineup over the years.
She still flies so gracefully! The sound of those JT-3s are very much a part of my childhood. Excellent video!
Wow, I started coughing after seeing this
Lol
Ok
Let it be night. :P
No u didn’t it’s not real life
The smell of jet exhaust puts hair on your chest.
...nothing like the sound of those four P&W JT3Ds. Iconic.
I don't think a more perfect looking airplane has ever been built!
Nice i used 2 watch PanAm 707s,720s practice T and Gs at the airport i lived in i loved the non hushkitted TF-33s those days r gone great video.
my god,, time to inspect and rebuild the injector pumps in that bird jeez
Ok
Nope. Problems like those dark trails result from primitive combustors. Thinking of diesels?
THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT SIDE TO SIDE WITH THE 747-8 Intercontinental.
+Cavallier Bus agree
+Cavallier Bus Indeed.
+Cavallier Bus i agree with statement, only ever flew on one, corfu to gatwick, sometime in the 80s - 90s, retired braniff airliner, bright orange paintwork, phenom plane, so comfortable. john
It's like putting a slim athlete and a sumo together! 747 is fatty and ugly.
@@zorroalphonso4354 dumbass it's suppose to be big to fly to countrys people these days
I live near an airport and witness 50 or so flights a day. my god this 707 still is a sight to see and enjoy.its sound is just awesome .and the black smoke coming out of the engines is very unique and carachteristic of this plane.thanks boing for providing such eye candies as 707 - 727 and 777. not to mention the lovely lovely lovely city in the sky : the formidable 747
Had the privilege of flying one of these trans-Pacific. Beautiful. Thanks.
Great footage of a legendary aircraft that still hold it's sleek lines and looks that could be a product of today.Had the privilege of flying on one all the way from London to Sydney with QANTAS in 1970 (would have been it's last couple of years in service with the airline)Registered with QANTAS as VH-EAD, it continued service with the RAAF for over 30 years as a transport / tanker as A20-624. Re-united with it 30 years on at RAAF Amberley in Queensland.Still flies today with a 'Omega' U.S civilian air refuelling company registered as N624RH after over 50 years service.
Civilian B52! Skinny body, huge wings, 4 engines, and screams like a banshee! Awesome.
And that, ladies and gentlemen IS A PLANE!!!!!
Nice! I remember going on a 707 decades ago... powerful thrust from the engines!
That plane is a work of beauty!
I have always liked the engines on the 707 they look really sleek and aerodynamic.
Yep, but if it loses its engines (flame out) its a rock, though other aircraft glide. Cool plane though
The most beautiful jet to ever grace our skies. Oh how I wish to fly on one...
Charlie Brown
You are truly a lucky man to have flown that many hours in such a beautiful aircraft. I'm soon 18 and about to finish my PPL pretty soon, but I don't think I'm going to work in the airline industry in the future. Flying isn't what it used to be and I'm not directly that fond of flying aircraft which practically flies themselves. Wish I had been born 60 years earlier or so! ;)
Charlie Brown
I have 5000 hours in the sister to the 707. That would be the venerable 727. Both are more aesthetic than ANYTHING today.
Super VC10
The sister to the 7070 is the 720.
1972 My first flight...ever...short hop from San Jose to Oakland to fuel and load passengers...then on to Honolulu on "Western Airlines...the Only Way to Fly!"
sunking2001 - My memory of Western Airlines is the complimentary “champagne.”
A BEAST from another century... the 20th. No doubt one of the most beautiful passenger jets ever built, with amazing power (Pratt & Witney engines). I deadheaded a Pan Am 707 in 1973 from Frankfurt to London, with only 4-5 crew aboard. I'll never forget how the plane DANCED its way through a lightening storm, wings flapping...
Thanks for the video.
I remember flying In that, it was very loud and there were lots of smoking people.
Are you sure that the plane wasn't in flames?
On fire.?
@Tom Evans Sorry that some people don't want to smell that in a confined environment
Tom Evans sorry, i don’t want cigarette smoke in a plane, it smells like garbage and could give people who have trouble breathing a hard time
Passengers smoking, engines smoking, the "good old" stinking days...
I think the engine of the 707 has a problem
707: am i a joke to you?
Ge90: hold my Kerrosine
Smokey, loud, and proud! Love it!
Nothing beats the smell, sound, power, and smoke of the old turbofans on the beautiful American made 707 fly on antique!
How can you not love the sound of those 4 beautiful Pratts? Today's "quite" wimpy jet pale in comparison to this this real plane!
definitivamente foi uma aeronave igual a essa que eu vi chegando em SJC em 23 de Abril de 2013 e fiquei MUITO impressionado! Um ruído incrível e belo e a visão é belíssima.
Boeing 707, the most beautiful plane ever built!!!
Concorde.
Super constellation: im i a joke for you?
707s, The Beatles, European fashion, the space race. the '60s FTW. Absolutely the start of the modern times we live in. Everything changed, everything older seemed boring and irrelevant. Great video.
nice memories of Geilenkirchen. I was trained there, 20 years ago as a crew chief and one day we went to the simulator with the engine specialists, and after training I asked the guy to let me take off. So I took off without check list or other info, like speed, flaps etc, only with my experience as a glider pilot. The instructor was surprised to watch me doing that and he told me "you are the first and only technician till now,that managed to take off"....Miss that days
Love it, love it, love it!!! Damn I miss those sounds..... I actually flew on one in 1970 on then, SAA from Salisbury, Rhodesia to Heathrow via ilha do sol.
best engine sound ever :)
Nothing quite like the sound and smoke of old 707 and B-52 turbojets. It truly is amazing how far jet engine technology has come since the early days.
I can remember being out around the flight line when they’d be spooling up and it would Pierce your ears. Still the most beautiful jet airliner ever built.
AYE she's a handsome plane is the 707.. Will always be one of my favourites. It just has so much presence compared to most airliners.. And I love that tropical Boeing nose, I wish they would bring that feature back to the next generations of aircraft..
Tropical?
this is my very first time seeing a 707 and i admire it. thanks for the upload. i just love airplanes hope i could find one of these for my miniature collections.
In 1980 I used to see their smoking signature regularly as they flew out of Kadena AB in the USAF's KC-135 configuration. Screaming and Smokin'......that's the 707: and it's great!
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is the best airliner ever
Nothing sexier ever flew. The shrill of the engines spooling up, the smoke, the big sweptback wings, air intakes above the engines, antenna on top of the tail, the routes it flew, the ability to cruise at 620, the space age cabin with moon dome lighting. If flying today isn't like that anymore, maybe one small reason is the planes aren't like that anymore. I've flown a million times, but only 3 times on a 707, as I was too young. TW from ORD-MCI, and 2 720's, EA MIA-JFK and UA ORD-JFK. No way to get excited like that about a 737 or A320. For the modern stuff, I've always been a fan of the 777 beast, mostly for the amazing noise and power on takeoff, but also for its' overall capability. For modern and small, I like the ERJ-175, 190, etc. The 707 era's stewardesses were much better looking and more pleasant than today's flight attendants, goes without saying. Or, did I notice because I was young? Or did they notice because I was young? Time stops for no one.
+JGG11 I am very partial to the elegant A330 myself, though I agree with you on the 777 with those big ass engines.
Stewardess' back then were better looking because all of them were young because of forced retirement after a certain age and could not be married. Today they are mostly post menopausal beasts.
itsmegp46- LMAO!!!
I guarantee you sexier things than the 707 flew. THe 707 is fine looking...for a commercial jet. But it doesn't come close to a B-58, or F-104, or Mirage (pick one), or a Tu-160, F-16, F-86, P-51, Spitfire. Hell, the list goes way on, as long as we're talking "sexy", not "beautiful". The 707 is still a people carrier at the end, classic and graceful as it may be.
Or tooty-frooty . . . . .

That'd be an a 320 neo
Lovely aircraft. To many oldsters the 707 was their first glimpse of the Jet Age. So much has changed over the decades with many becoming jaded toward air travel.
Beautiful. The sound of those JT3D made my day.
I know, 4-engine-jets are regarded as uneconomic nowadays but I love them.
I dunno, the 747-8 and A380 are pretty efficient for quadjets.
@@oranges866 i know. It's absurd. No twin engine jet can ever be more economical than a 747 or a A380 with all seats booked.
@@MarioStahl1983 Well sadly, booking all seats is only possible on high demand routes. Shame that low fares attract customers.
@@oranges866 So true. And also: Many small and mid size airports have a relatively short runway. Consequence: 3 flights of a 737 instead of 1 with 747. So absurd. And so unnecessarily harmful to the environment. It's really sad.
@@MarioStahl1983 Boeing 720s and 757s were able to serve those airports. Now 757s are being phased out and 720s are long gone.
When I was growing up in the 1960s we had Delta Convair 880s fly over our house, and the smoke and noise they produced were even worse than these engines... You could tell it was an 880 and not a 707 or DC-8 by the sound....
Kenneth Hoffman did you know the convair 990 holds the speed record of all time at 625 mph
@@Daniel_Q_ I think he means speed records for subsonic jets.
First flight ever on a 707 on Lufthansa from Cleveland Ohio to Frankfurt Germany beautiful plane classic
After flying across the 'pond', courtesy of one of Freddie laker's 'Skytrain' DC10's I caught an internal flight from JFK on one of these 707's - lot's of legroom after being cramped like a sardine in the DC10 - hardly any passengers and a great lunch served by a pretty hostess. The day was fine and sunny with fantastic views of the U.S. The only slightly worrying part was to see the wing(s) flap up and down (my seat was right by the wing)as it took off, apart from that: Nice flight to SLC Utah !
An Amazing legend of the Skies, i love the 707.
Damn dude, these are some serious exhaust fumes right there.
Boeing 707 = The F1 V10 sound of the airplanes
the older aircraft engines are crazy dirty, but you cant beat that loud jet engine sound, classic!!! love it
great video :)
its sad we dont get to hear those sound daily anymore
That sound just brings back so many memories!!
Love this video. I watch it over and over with volume as loud as stereo will go! 11 years of my life working and traveling on these old girls! Best years of my life! Makes the hair on my back and neck stand! Goose pimples all over. Tears in my eyes! But now I'm stuck here on the grass where the cold wind blows. You're never gonna get the chance to jump one of these beauties again. Long live Dash 80!
the scream of JT3 Turbojets, amazing sound
Those are turbofans. TF33's.
bombmetalman which are JT3D. TF33 is just the USAF designation for the JT3D. My mistake, i meant Turbofans.
I flew on an Alitalia DC-8 to Rome,Italy in December 1969...then returned on a Pan Am 707....that flight on the 707 was absolutely beautiful after the rather scary ride on the DC-8...just a beautiful airplane !
Such a beautiful airplane! I am overjoyed she is being preserved and well looked after in Germany.
The great 707 is an old friend! Thanks so much for posting!
legendary, smoky, this is a Jet !!! i love it
nothing sounds like a 707
MontrealMan1970 720 might
or a dc-8
I remember seeing the 707 & its rival, the D.C 8 as a kid in the 70s . Air Jamaica had 2 D.C 8.back then.
747 has a similar scream
I was an aircraft engineer in the RAF when these were in service, we were regularly ‘MDA’ (major diversion airfield) so got dozens in for refuel! We also got the KC135’s in which are built on a converted 707! I managed to ‘cadge a lift’ in one on an air to air refuelling mission SUPERB! 👍🏻
What you see here is called a ‘roller’ not a touch and go, the aircraft would put all wheels down then power up and take off again. A ‘touch and go’ was ONLY main wheels touched down, nose held high, then full TOGA power applied and rotate again. I flew many of these in VC10’s! These engines were notorious for ‘smoggin’, similar to the B52 engines, you could almost WALK UP the smoke after a B52 took off, we used to get those in on detachment so saw this daily👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 GREAT VIDEO!
one of my favorite videos, thanks Cargospotter!
Fantastic video! Watch it over and over again :)
This is like the Dodge Charger of the skies i suppose... damn
4 engines are equivalent of v8 , trijet are V6 twins are 4 cylinders
+stickmagnet It's all well and good to say so, but a single engine off a 777 would have more than double the thrust of all 4 JT3Ds off this plane.
+fhg1738 and one GNEX engine on the 747-8 has as much power as all 8 engines on a B52!
+fhg1738 Wow !!!!!
+adam shaw How does the GNEX engine off a 747-8 compare to a 777 engine power wise ??? Perhaps its a variant of the same engine ???
What a beast. Flew transatlantic on it as a child as we prepared to emigrate, me and my brother were in the BOAC Junior Jet Club. You got an autograph book and a pair of wings and in those days you could visit the flight deck.
I too remember that (the experience the time..different airline), going up as a kid and seeing the captain....getting also a deck of official airline playing cards was pretty cool! Those were different times though~
Boeing never built a better airplane. Classic beauty, dependable, comfortable to fly and no fly-by-wire nonsense. My favorite jetliner. Convair 990 a close second.
That's how a jet should sound like.
Que incrível o som desses motores.
I live just 20km away, it's so amazing everytime she flies by and you hear the sound of this iconic airplane and see the black smoke afterwards which reminds you of the good old days 👍
Really need to go there for some take offs!
What a beautiful plane. WOW lots of memories
I'm as green as the biggest flaming liberal out there - but gosh I love seeing the classic birds lift off leaving trails of light soot as they go.
Another 5star cargospotter vid.
+TommyT Agreed. I 'd be happy to see the odd Big Boy on the rails as well.
Growing up in airline family, we would usually be seated in 1st class, however, more times than not, I would usually worm my way back to coach where the "Action" was, LOL. The Stews would always say, "Chris, it's OK if you sit back here, but I can't serve you a 1st class meal if you do". Just throw me a bag of stale peanuts, I've got screaming JT3Ds to keep me company and entertained. :-)
What did you gain from that?
Hearing and seeing those beautiful engines while he could :D
In my opinion, Boeing builds the most beautiful aircraft and the 707 is still my favorite commercial plane. Sleek, sexy and full of style!
Love the sound of the old screaming Jets.
Always sounded so good and powerful when I went to watch them at the airport as a kid.
Loudest noise I ever remember hearing.
sounds like REAL jet, not an overblown hairdryer
@@kokaboba Yeah! No nostalgia allowed! /sarcasm
cool person you know we’ve been using cars for over 100 years and ain’t no environment dead yet. I have a gasoline car, and I am proud I don’t drive electric crap.
@@lindasabzehroo7017 me too

And now the only thing keeping us back from stopping climate change and pollution. Is you from not just dying already. Tbh that's the hard truth
Apart from the smoke this is an amazing plane
***** Try 1958.
"The Boeing 707 is a mid-size, long-range, narrow-body four-engine jet airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1958 to 1979. Its name is commonly pronounced as "Seven Oh Seven". Versions of the aircraft have a capacity from 140 to 189 passengers[4] and a range of 2,500 to 5,750 nautical miles (4,630 to 10,650 km)"
From WikiPedia
Still got those loud engines! Love it. I grew up by an Air Force base in Massachusetts. Air refueling wing stationed there. I recall many articles in our local paper about the sound of those old engines. They were loud. By the time I was older, they had re-engined the entire fleet of k 135s. Can barely hear them now!
Wow that sound..... i remember these beautiful jets going over my uncle's place in floral park back in the early 70's. He also used to take me to JFK to watch the planes land on the observation deck. The 707 & the 747 are what jets should look like.
Is this smoke behind the engine normal ?
Yes
Back then it was
No. All 4 engines are in fire. That's why it's operating normally.
smoke behind is a sign for unclean combustion. ;)
If I'm not mistaken, water injection was employed to cool the intake air so more fuel could be be burned. Hence, the black smoke.
As pretty as that is, it pales in comparison to 15 B-52's during a MITO drill. Nothing like the screaming EIGHT engines of a B-52!!
707 and b52 are from same era and the engines are very similar.
gil zur In my humble opinion, no military aircraft anywhere, anytime is prettier in flight than the B52!
Agree
joel trevino You can of course not beat 15 B52.
The B-52 laid the foundation for the 707.
My first trip in a plane was the 707-wow- what a great ride. So powerful and smooth.
Pity it was retired and the safest plane ever built .
Just love the 707, thanks for share
Loud is what makes it a beauty!
YES!!
Do you need any special permission to film at this airport? Great video :)
CPHSpotting Yes, because it's the NATO military airbase, home to the 16 AWACS (all 707's) as well.
growing up in Seattle I've been privileged to see new Boeings roll out since the early 60's
Great flying by the pilot with very smooth landings. I love those old smoky Pratt and Whitney JT-8D turbofan engines.
John Travolta owns a Quanta’s 707 and parks it in his back yard.
u in QANTAS - really????
If it ain't BOEING I ain't going!

never been working in or next to an airplane. If you'd see Boeing from inside and an Airbus you'd defenetly change your opinion
14725800369 I have and nothing compares to Boeing. The Dreamliner puts anything Airbus has to shame.
well but the dreamliner isn't the only airplane out there. Ok I'll have to admit the 757 is a good one although it's stupidly high. On an airbus you can connect ground power on evey model without stairs on a 757 767 or 777 it's impossbile, and than that stupid plastic hook you hold the GPU cabel with, in winter it snaps so often and ground power just falls out and kills all the memory of the captains GPS and he has to reprogramm, that's why the often don't turn off the APU, very enviromental friendly and also very nice to work in that noise
The DC-8 and the 707 were the first to planes I ever flew on back in 72. The captains this big eyed little boy into the cockpit and showed me around. I still remember that to this day with fondness....
Great video. Thanks for posting! So nice to the see the lovely old grand lady of the skies again. A four-smoker!!
