This tv news clip shows a Global International Boeing 707 gear up landing which is quite spectacular. I do not know the date or airport but I suspect this footage dates from the early 1980s.
Two stage II hushed JT3D turbofans hanging off a 707 wing up at 32,000ft over the famous sea of grass, not such a common sight in 2006! Riding a little turbulence en route from El Palomar to Comodoro Rivadavia as LADE 784, aircraft retired just 3 weeks later.
Final approach to Runway 25 at Argentina\\\'s oil capital Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut Province, after a 2h20 flight from Buenos Aires. Sorry for the weird light. This is Patagonia in Autumn! Reversers only used on inboard engines here on account of the long runway and the elderly engines. Note the behaviour of the inlet doors and wing slats upon landing.
