Hi.

I have a question about this aircraft HERE.
It's a B707-327C (Cargo), registration number N7099, leased to Qantas from Braniff. Is this a converted 707-300 passenger plane to a 707-300 cargo plane? I'm just asking because, at first glance, it looks just like a 707 passenger plane. The large cargo door on the opposite side of it lets you know it's really a cargo plane. Was it really that much cheaper to put a cargo door in the side and just leave the passenger windows there?

It just looks really strange. Had I not notice the cargo door, I would have believed it was a passenger plane. It was the US registration number that made me take a closer look in the first place.

Sorry if this is not really the proper place to ask about this.
