Great article. They seem to have left out that he was flying this alone. Alone! His Boeing 707 has three dining rooms and seats 179 people...I've read.

They seem to have left out that he was flying this alone. Alone! Someone help me out. Is it possible to fly a 707 alone?? Is there a minimum crew requirement, either by regulation or sheer necessity?

I’ll admit it would be pretty cool to own and fly your own 707.

I don't think the FAA will allow a plane like the 707 to be flown solo.

His Boeing 707 has three dining rooms and seats 179 people.Not a chance. Standard versions will hold that many in cattle car configuration, but that would leave room for your dining rooms. Standard config (2 class) was about 110.
BUT - the -138 was a shortened version sold to Quantas, so the only way you could get 179 folks on there would be to rip out the seats and make them stand.
