Frank---I have engineered that airplane several times but never to AMS---I have flown into your 'Below-sea level' airport several times but as a 707 Copilot---A/C 751----3-13-77 JFK/FRA
5-2-77 SYD/MEL/SYD
5-4-77 SYD/MEL/SYD
8-26-77 PPT/AKL
Looks to me like she was a pretty sound airplane---That Auckland trip was on my 43rd birthday--Wonder if the stewardesses helped me celebrate?!?!
