Delivered new to Capitol International Airways as N4905C on 30Nov65. Sold to Air Gabon Cargo as TR-LVK on 26Apr75 and leased to Affretair from Feb76. Reregistered Z-WSB on 25Mar89. Damaged beyond repair whilst landing at Harare 28Jan96
Information on Air Gabon Cargo/Affretair from oldjets.net:
AIR GABON CARGO (COMPAGNIE GABONAISE D’AFFRETE-MENTS AERIENS, S. A.) was formed in the spring of 1977 at Salisbury, Rhodesia, to provide freight services to Europe. In order to avoid the United Nations sanctions that led to the suspension of Affretair, Ltd. the previous year, this subsidiary of Air Trans Africa, Ltd. was registered in Libreville. Many former Affretair staff members found work with Air Gabon Cargo and the 'outlaw' airline’s entire fleet was leased, including two Douglas DC-8-55Fs Situ-tunga, a Canadair CL-44D, and two DC-7CFs. Flights continue even after 1979 when Affretair, Ltd. was forced, by the creation of the new state of Zimbabwe, to shut its doors in Gabon. The company’s assets were acquired by Air Zimbabwe, Ltd. in 1983 and reformed as Affretair, Ltd.

Pan Am (Pan American World Airways)
Morning arrival from New York City (via Frankfurt) on an April Sunday in 1977. In the early 1970’s, Pan Am was the only airline to operate a daily scheduled 747 service to Riem (PA 072/073, NYC-FRA-MUC-FRA-NYC), arriving from FRA around 9 AM each morning and leaving to FRA around noon. In later years, Pan Am flew directly to JFK, and, living close to the airport, to me it was always frightening to see the Jumbo labouring out low and heavy (with westerly winds, the departure route took it directly over the city).
:
First flight was January 19, 1970. Delivery date was February 5, 1970. Wears FN 738 with Pan Am. Sadly, W/O August 4, 1983 at KHI (Karachi) with Pan Am as N738PA after she was damaged beyond economical repair due to a hard landing in a very severe storm.

In later years, Pan Am flew directly to JFK, and, living close to the airport, to me it was always frightening to see the Jumbo labouring out low and heavy (with westerly winds, the departure route took it directly over the city).
This Boeing 747, first flight 31 January 1970, was initially leased from Pan Am to American Airlines for about a year before AA received their own 747-123s. It was converted to a freighter in July 1991 and flew with Tower Air until wfu on 30 May 1999. B/U at JFK in 2000. (Source: scramble)

Information from flickr - thanks to Guido Allieri:
OH-LAA (c/n 299 series B4-203) was delivered in December 1986 to Finnair for Karair operations. It returned to Finnair in April 1990 and was then sold in April 1998 to Air Scandic as G-TTMC. The plane was leased to Caledonian a couple of times during its UK years, before it was to sold to MNG Airlines as TC-MNY in December 2004. In June 2006 it was first leased and then sold to Iran Air / Iran Air Tours (EP-MDA and then EP-IBG).
Still (or again) active as EP-IBG with Iran Air in 2020!

Aer Lingus
Shamrock green plane under Bavarian white-and-blue sky ...
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
Delivered to Aer Lingus in Jul-65 as EI-ANG, this aircraft stayed in service for 26 years until Aer Lingus retired it at Shannon in Mar-91. It was bought by leasing company Guinness Peat Aviation (later to become more famous as lessor GECAS) in Jun-91 and leased to Nigerian airline Hold Trade Air the same month. Unfortunately it didn't go on for much longer and was damaged beyond repair when it skidded off the runway at Kaduna, Nigeria, in Aug-92.
Information from WHBM on pprune.org:
The Aer Lingus One-Elevens were also notable in that the whole quartet (EI-ANE, EI-ANF, EI-ANG, EI-ANH) stayed together at Aer Lingus from mid 1965 to early 1991, when they were retired. That's a very long service time and most unusual, they were never added to or sold off. I guess EI must have been quite satisfied with them. They even got all sold to an operator in Nigeria and ran on there together to their various final ends.

Aer Lingus
The regular Aer Lingus flight to Riem in the early 1970s was a service from and to Dublin on early Sunday afternoons. I found the flight numbers EI 610/611 for winter 1972/1973 (DUB-BRU-MUC-BRU-DUB) and EI 612/613 for January/February 1974 (DUB-MUC-DUB).
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
Delivered new to Aer Lingus in Jun-65. It was leased to LANICA Nicaragua as AN-BBS in Oct-66, returning to Aer Lingus as EI-ANF in Apr-67. It was retired at the end of Nov-90 after 25 years in service and stored at Shannon, Ireland. In Mar-92 it was sold to Guinness Peat Aviation (which later became GECAS) and leased to Hold Trade Air, Nigeria, as 5N-HTD. It was retired and stored at Kaduna, Nigeria, in Jul-97 and was later broken up.
Information from WHBM and an anecdote from Bradan feasa on pprune.org:
The Aer Lingus One-Elevens were also notable in that the whole quartet (EI-ANE, EI-ANF, EI-ANG, EI-ANH) stayed together at Aer Lingus from mid 1965 to early 1991, when they were retired. That's a very long service time and most unusual, they were never added to or sold off. I guess EI must have been quite satisfied with them. They even got all sold to an operator in Nigeria and ran on there together to their various final ends.
EI-ANF was leased to Lanica as AN-BBS 29 October 1966 to 27 April 1967 with LANICA titles on the Aer Lingus colour scheme. It retained the Aer Lingus name Maolmhaoghóg (St Malachy) which some interpreted as a Nicaraguan deity!

Information from airliners.net (slightly adapted) - thanks to Felix Goetting:
Delivered in September 1965 to Lufthansa as D-ABIR, she flew for Condor from June 1967 till she was sold to Jet Aviation in June 1981 and became N727CH. Before she was sold to the "casino airline" Imperial Palace in July 1990 and became N727BE this B727 carried the regs VR-BHK, VR-BGW and N129JK. In December 1996 she was re-registered to N7271P and later fitted with winglets. After Imperial Palace sold this vintage Boeing, she became 3D-BOE and then was flying as S9-ROI for Benin Government. Noted derelict at Kinshasa in November 2011.

PH-TVD
Boeing 737-2K2C/Adv
20943/405
Transavia Holland (Air Djibouti colours)
The first report I have of PH-TVD at Riem is from 6 September 1975, about half a year after it was delivered to Transavia Holland. The airframe was later seen at Riem in November 1983 as PH-TVD wearing full Eagle Air/Arnarflug colours (but no titles).
This aircraft had a long history (see below) and finally went out with a landing accident in 2018.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding and heathrow junkie:
This aircraft was built as a 'C', fitted with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to Transavia in Mar-75 as PH-TVD and during it's life with Transavia it spent more time flying for other airlines than it did with them.
PH-TVD c/n 20943 - Boeing 737-2K2C was delivered new to Transavia Holland in Mar 1975, one of around half a dozen bought in the mid 1970s to replace their fleet of Caravelles. During the 70s and 80s the aircraft spent a lot of the time leased out to other airlines, including British Airways. Final lease was to Indian Airlines between 1986 and 1990, and the aircraft was then sold to Europe Airpost as F-GGVP. In 2003, the aircraft went to Republic Express Airlines of Indonesia as PK-RPH. Passing to Jayawijaya Dirgantara later in the 2000s, and re-registered PK-JRM, the aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 2018 and withdrawn from use.

PH-TVD
Boeing 737-2K2C/Adv
20943/405
Transavia Holland
The first report I have of PH-TVD at Riem is from 6 September 1975, about half a year after it was delivered to Transavia Holland. The airframe was also seen at Riem on 15 March 1980 as PH-TVD wearing full Air Djibouti colours (but no titles).
This aircraft had a long history (see below) and finally went out with a landing accident in 2018.

Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding and heathrow junkie:
This aircraft was built as a 'C', fitted with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to Transavia in Mar-75 as PH-TVD and during it's life with Transavia it spent more time flying for other airlines than it did with them.
PH-TVD c/n 20943 - Boeing 737-2K2C was delivered new to Transavia Holland in Mar 1975, one of around half a dozen bought in the mid 1970s to replace their fleet of Caravelles. During the 70s and 80s the aircraft spent a lot of the time leased out to other airlines, including British Airways. Final lease was to Indian Airlines between 1986 and 1990, and the aircraft was then sold to Europe Airpost as F-GGVP. In 2003, the aircraft went to Republic Express Airlines of Indonesia as PK-RPH. Passing to Jayawijaya Dirgantara later in the 2000s, and re-registered PK-JRM, the aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 2018 and withdrawn from use.

G-AMPO had visited Riem before with Macedonian Aviation on 8 July 1974. The Grumman G-159 Gulfstream I in the background is Lear Siegler Inc.‘s N171LS.
Information from ruudleeuw.com (slightly expanded):
G-AMPO (cn16437/33185) went thru various hands before joining Air Atlantique. From the USAAF (44-76853) it went straight thru in 1945 to the RAF as KN566. G-AMPO was first designated in 1952. In rapid succession it was used by Starways LTD (1953), Eagle Aircraft Services (1954), First Air Trading (1954), back to Eagle Acft Svcs (1955) and Starways (1956), Aviation Overhauls (1963), British Westpoint Airlines (1964) and then it went abroad to Polaris Air Transport as LN-RTO (1964). But in 1969 it was reregistered G-AMPO for Field Aircraft Services. That same year it went to British Aircraft Corporation. During the early-1970s it was used by Macedonian Securities and Macedonian Aviation before it returned to Albion and was registered to McDonald Aviation (1975). Then there was Intra Airways in 1975 and Vistair Flight in 1978. Eastern Airways started operating it from 1978 and all this moving about came to an end when it was registered to Air Atlantique in 1981. It remained with Air Atlantique until de-registration in 2001 and was subsequently presented to 47 Air Despatch Sqn, Royal Logistics Corps, for display at the unit’s HQ at RAF Lyneham. G-AMPO was placed as a gateguard at RAF Lyneham in Sep01, repainted and marked 'FZ626'.

Luftwaffe (West German Air Force)
Luftwaffe Convair is heading to runway 25 for take-off. It was operated by Luftwaffe between November 1962 and November 1973. This airframe was again seen at Riem in September 1975 as N5DG with Alice Cooper, still wearing basic Luftwaffe colours.
This Convair was originally destined for Lufthansa but not taken up:
The 1st Lufthansa 340 was nearing completion in early 1954 and took to the skies as N8424H in January 1954. Unfortunately, there was a last-minute delay in the lifting of the WW2 Treaty and the (4) 340's were canceled (all sold to other operators).
(Source: www.airlinercafe.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6205)
It was built as a Convair 340-68A and converted to a Convair 440 in 1954.

Gulf Air
A rare sight at Riem. I have only two other reports of Gulf Air TriStars at Riem: A4O-TX had visited before on 13 August 1980, and N41020 leased from TWA was seen at Riem on a diversion from CDG on 15 December 1978.
According to my information, the first visit of a TriStar to Riem was Court Line’s G-BAAA on 15 March 1973. Otherwise, apart from British Airways/British Airtours aircraft, TriStars were relatively rare at Riem up until the late 1970s when LTU aircraft also began to turn up more regularly. Later in the 1980s, the variety increased with Pan Am, TWA, Delta and Air Canada sending TriStar 500s to Munich on scheduled flights.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Frank C. Duarte Jr.:
First flight was January 29, 1976. Delivery date was February 13, 1976. Built as TriStar 100, cvt'd to TriStar 200 in April 1982, & again cvt'd to TriStar 200(SF) freighter for Arrow Air. Other serials - N308GB with Arrow Air as "Lady Marianne", and also initially G-BDCX with Gulf Air. Wears FN X 102 with Gulf Air. Stored at ROW (Roswell) in March 2004 as N308GB, & was broken-up in June 2012 at ROW.

Swissair
Swissair DC-10s were very occasionally observed at Riem, on diversions or substituting for the usual DC-9s. Still, they were among the earliest DC-10s to be seen at the airport. HB-IHD was noted on 17 May 1975, probably the date of this photo here showing her lined up for take-off on runway 25 surrounded by blooming dandelions.
Other Swissair DC-10s reported at Riem include HB-IHA on 18 March 1973, HB-IHB on 5 November 1973, HB-IHE on 1 September 1979, HB-IHF on 31 October 1975, HB-IHG on 15 November 1978, HB-IHH on 5 July 1980, and HB-IHK (with Balair) on 23 April 1979.
HB-IHD was delivered new to Swissair in December 1973 (first called "Bern", later "Thurgau"). It was sold to JAT as YU-AMC in May 1988, went on to Electra Airlines as VP-BMP in January 1993, and Northwest as N228NW in July 1995. Wfu at Maxton, North Carolina, in December 2002 and broken up there. (Source: swissair00.ch)

I have two reports of PH-TVL at Riem: on 1 January and on 15 January 1977. It was leased from Airbus Industrie between 6 May 1976 and 18 January 1977, i.e. returned shortly after this appearance at Riem.

c/n 008. New to Air Siam in 1974 as HS-VGD, Returned to Airbus as F-ODHC in 1975. To Transavia as PH-TVL in 1976. Returned to Airbus in 1977 as F-WNDB. To Air Inter in 1978 as F-BUAF. Withdrawn from use at Chateauroux in 1997 and later scrapped.
Information from flightsimrepaints.nl:
In 1976 Transavia Holland placed an order at Airbus Industrie for one Airbus A300B4 for delivery in April 1977. In the meantime the airline leased an Airbus A300B2 from Airbus Industrie from 06.05.1976 till 18.01.1977. The capacity of the type turned out to be too large for flexible using. The order was cancelled and PH-TVL went back to Airbus Industrie. It was sold to Air Inter and at the end scrapped in 2000. Remarkable is the distinctive painting. The font on the fuselage for Transavia Holland was only applied on PH-TVL.

D-AMUR (3) was Boeing 767-3G5 (ER) 24257/251 flying for LTU Süd from February 1989.
Germanair took over this BAC One-Eleven (first flight 20 October 1969 as G-AXSY) in December 1969 and used it on holiday flights until the end of 1974. The next owner was Philippine Airlines, which operated the aircraft until 1990 and then stored them at MNL. European Aircharter ferried the aircraft to Bournemouth as VR-BEA in March 1996, where it was used for spares with 46038 operating hours and 42833 cycles and was broken up in September 2000. (Source: bsl-mlh-planes.net)
Detailed information on Germanair’s BAC operations from bac1-11jet.co.uk:
Prior to taking delivery of the initially ordered three Series 524FFs, this company leased a Series 409AY from August to October 1969 (G-AXBB). The new aircraft were delivered in October (D-AMIE) and December 1969 (D-AMUR) and in March 1970 (D-AMOR) in a 114 single class configuration. A fourth new aircraft was delivered in May 1971 (D-AMAT) while two second hand Series 515FBs were added in May 1972 (D-AMAM and D-AMAS). Two of the aircraft were sold in April (D-AMIE) and November 1974 (D-AMUR), one of these being replaced by a leased Series 518FG for the 1974 summer season (G-AXMK). The aircraft were employed on inclusive tour and charter work throughout Europe and to North Africa until the company merged with Bavaria Fluggesellschaft Schwabe & Co KG on 1st March 1977 to form Bavaria/Germanair Fluggesellschaft GmbH.

This One-Eleven was a regular at Riem, initially with Germanair as seen here, then Bavaria Germany and finally Hapag-Lloyd.
Information from cordobavuela.blogspot:
First flight 9 December 69. Originally built for Paninternational, but not taken up. BAC kept it for sale and used it as a demonstrator as G-AXVO. Converted to model 1-11-524FF in 1970. Acquired by Germanair on 20 March 1970 (D-AMOR). Germanair merged with Bavaria in March 1977, and Bavaria Germanair merged with Hapag-Lloyd in January 1979. Austral bought the aircraft in November 1979. It was the only Austral aircraft that landed in the Malvinas during the Falkland conflict (1982), that's why it was named "Puerto Argentino". Stored at Morón Air Base from September 1993 and used for fire practices/as a ground trainer.

Information from Stephan Barth:
D-CASY: HFB320 c/n 1029. F/f 31/05/68; here in Modern Air colours, it is not clear whether the aircraft was leased to Modern Air or the colour scheme was only applied for demonstration purposes. From June 1968 the Hansa Jet belonged to IFG / LTU. On 29/06/72, after only four years of operation, D-CASY overshot the end of the runway during an aborted takeoff at Blackpool (the flight was initially destined for RTM and MUC). There were seven fatalities and one survivor.

EAA VC10s were seen for one or two seasons at Riem between 1971 and 1972. Apparently they were hard to photograph because they usually came in late in the day. 5X-UVJ was noted on 19 December 1971, 5H-MOG on 30 January 1972, 5X-UVA on 20 February 1972 and 5H-MMT on 11 August 1972 (that visit may have been in connection with the Olympic Games at Munich). 5Y-ADA was never seen at Riem according to my information.
5H-MMT was delivered to East African Airways on 31 October 1966 and stayed with the airline until January 1977. Sold to RAF in September 1977 for conversion to K3 tanker. Delivered to 101 Squadron as ZA147 in September 1985. Performed the last ever flight of a Vickers VC10 on 25 September 2013. (Source: vc10.net)

BFS operated seven HS-748 (D-AFSD, D-AFSE, D-AFSF, D-AFSG, D-AFSH, D-AFSI, D-AFSJ). D-AFSD was delivered on 19 December 1969 and withdrawn from use in May 1982 to go on to Canada; it was still active in May 2016 as a bulk fuel tanker with Wasaya Airways. D-AFSE had already been wfu in January 1982, D-AFSG was sold to Air Inuit in July 89, while D-AFSF, -H, -I and -J flew on for BFS until 1997.
The measuring equipment inside D-AFSD weighed 2.5t and included receivers, multimeters, sensors, oscilloscopes, computers, frequency analyzers, television cameras, monitors and various evaluation and communication equipment. 47 antennas had to be installed on the aircraft to send and receive the signals necessary for measurement purposes alone.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)
Surprise visitor on a brilliant October day in 1977. Surprise visitor on a brilliant October day in 1977. Mr. D., the manager on duty from the "Verkehrsabteilung" ("Traffic Department"), kindly drove us out to the aircraft so we could get a good shot - thanks a lot after all these years! The viewing terrace can be seen on the left (I think it was closed that day).
While French Air Force Noratlases were occasionally seen at Riem during the 1970s, this ex-German Air Force example from Israel was a rare sight. The aircraft has been stored at the Israeli AF Museum, Beersheba-Hatzerim Air Force Base (LLHB), since 1983 (as 055/4X-FAG).
Israel bought eight N.2501 IS direct from Nord in 1955-59, a further 12 from Germany in 1962, and four more later. The first, 4X-FAP, was delivered before the end of 1955, and immediately proved extremely popular and capable.
Source: library.avsim.net
D165 was built by Flugzeugbau Nord (a consortium of HFB, Weserflug AG and Siebel-ATG) in Germany and initially served with Luftwaffe (West German Air Force) as KA+176 and later possibly as GB+235. Sold to the Israeli Air Force, the aircraft was marked NAF-305 as a plane destined for Namibia / Nigeria and transferred to Lahr Air Base (Base Aérienne 139 Lahr) in Germany. From there it was flown to Israel, by an Israeli crew, via Marseille, France, to disguise its origin. The transfer operation was called the 'Thermos' operation. The aircraft was then stationed at the Tel Nof base and operated by the Elephants Squadron under tail no. 5755. The tail number was later changed to 055 and the registration 4X-FAG was applied. In August 1974, the plane was moved to Lod base. In 1977 it was transferred to Israel Aerospace Industries and operated for transport flights to France under the 4X-AOS civil registration. In March 1983, it was flown to Beersheba-Hatzerim Air Force Base (LLHB) and added to the collection of aircraft intended to become part of the Israel Air Force Museum.

Built in 1960 for KLM as PH-DCD, this DC-8-33 served with KLM and Martinair until 1973. It then flew with African Safari Airways as 5Y-ASA from November 1973 until May 1977 when sold to Transmeridian Air Cargo in the UK. Stripped for parts and used as a fire trainer at STN, broken up there in July 1985. (Sources: airliners.net (Ian Gains), rzjets.net.)

G-ASYD
BAC 111-475AM One-Eleven
053
British Aerospace
This One-Eleven was retained by the BAC/BAe throughout its 29-year flying career for use as a development and test aircraft for the production variants and for testing technical innovations. (Source: airliners.net, Alastair T. Gardiner)
Information from flickr - thanks to Ray Pettit:
G-ASYD was first built in 1965 as a development airframe for the important 400 variant, which was ordered by American Airlines and others. After that work was completed, its fuselage was stretched and it became the 500 prototype in 1967. But then in 1970 the aircraft morphed again with a shorter fuselage, but retaining the larger 500 wing to become the prototype 475 version, designed for hot and high operations.
Later on, when One Eleven production was nearing its end, a 670 model was envisaged for the Japanese market and Yankee Delta changed its designation again, first flying as such in September 1977.
(Later, it was converted back to a 475 - so the two photos uploaded here of the aircraft at Riem are before and after the conversion to a 670 model.)

Information on JAT's DC-10 operations from taxiways.de:
JAT had a strong international network with destinations on every continent except South America. These routes were operated by Boeing 707s, but taken over by DC-10s which were inspected by President Tito himself. The first aircraft, YU-AMA, arrived in Belgrade on December 8th 1978 and was introduced on the New York service a few days later. A second aircraft from the same order joined the fleet in 1979 and several leases in the 1980s brought the fleet to seven aircraft which were all operated at the same time for while.

A very rare sight at Riem, G-ARVJ is about to leave Riem again following an emergency landing due to problems with the right inner starboard engine.
Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
G-ARVJ c/n 812 - Vickers VC-10-1101 - delivered new to BOAC in April 1964, incorporated into the British Airways fleet ten years later. Leased to the Ruler of Qatar, from 1975 to 1981, the aircraft was then sold to the RAF where it became ZD493 and was used as a source of spare parts for the RAF's VC-10 fleet at Brize Norton.

Accident description:
aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19730130-1
Information on the DC-9 Series 20 from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
The DC-9 Series 20 was designed especially for SAS who required improved short field performance (by using the more powerful engines and improved wings of the Series 30 combined with the shorter fuselage of the Series 10. Ten Series 20 aircraft were produced, all of them the Model 21 - one was unfortunately written off in an accident in 1973 (LN-RLM).
LN-RLM sunk into the Oslofjord 30 January 1973:

S.A. de Transport Aérien (SATA)
This airframe had been seen at Riem as OY-SAY with Sterling in 1969 and 1970. There’s a report of HB-ICO at Riem with SATA on 9 September 1972, but this photo here looks more as if it was taken in early spring (the slide was undated). There’s also a later report of HB-ICO at Riem with CTA on 23 February 1979.
This Caravelle 10R was originally supposed to be delivered to Aviaco, but was not taken up. From December 1969 to January 1971 it flew as OY-SAY for Sterling Airways. SATA acquired it in February 1971 and flew it until the company was taken over by CTA Compagnie de Transport Aérien. CTA would operate it for another ten years. Via Farner Air Service, it would go to Air Service Nantes as F-GGKD in December 1988, then in May 1994 as HK-3869X to Colombia, where it would continue to fly until about 2003.

Here, the aircraft has just arrived at its stand with an entire ground handling complement standing at the ready, including an armoured police vehicle and EgyptAir Volkswagen van.
The second A300 for TEA (first flight October 7, 1975) was delivered on October 15, 1975. Baptized "Adrianus Andreas Jnr", it went operational two days later. From the beginning of April 1977, OO-TEG was leased to Egyptair, at first in this hybrid livery (first noted such at Cairo on April 6 1977). On July 2 1979 it was reregistered to SU-BBS and resprayed in their full livery by November of the same year, it would never return to TEA. (Source: www.skystef.be)
Leased to Hapag-Lloyd as D-AHLC from March 1983,the aircraft went on to Air Inter as F-GJIS in January 1990 and was leased to Holiday Airlines as TC-RAA from March 1995. The last registration was F-GLOC with Air France. Stored at CHR (Chateauroux) in February 1997 and broken-up there in 1998, completely gone by November 2003. (Sources: rzjets.net, planelogger.com)

München-Riem

A phantastic aerial overview of Munich-Riem airport taken on 27 May 1991, almost precisely one year before the airport was closed on 16 May 1992. It’s evident how congested it had become. The view is roughly west-to-east. I have marked points of interest in the picture itself.

Note: The registration D-ABUI is currently being used for Condor Boeing 767-330/ER c/n 26988 / 562 (July 2020).
Information from flickr - thanks to heathrow junkie:
D-ABUI c/n 19317 - Boeing 707-330C was delivered new to Lufthansa in June 1967. The aircraft was leased to subsidiary German Cargo in 1979, and then sold to Transbrasil in 1984 as PT-TCM. Still flying in 2004 with BETA Brazilian Express as PP-BSE, the aircraft was unfortunately written off (right hand main gear leg punctured through the wing on take-off from MAO on 23 October 2004).

Air Viking (basic United Airlines colours)
Noted at Riem on 19 December 1974 and also on 21 February 1975 (parked for about two weeks, departed on 7 March 1975).
Detailed article on Air Viking:
www.oldjets.net/air-viking.html
Excerpt:
"AIR VIKING RESUMES OPERATIONS - APRIL 1974
Air Viking (IACO Code: VV) was resurrected in 1974 after an injection of capital by the Sunna Travel Bureau because they were unhappy by the service they were receiving from the then Icelandair. The airline’s main business initially was flying Icelandic tourists down to the Mediterranean, France, Ireland and Germany, with two Boeing 720’s. Soon though, they branched out and started flying Hadj flights and general charters in Europe as well as for sub-charter work on behalf of other airlines.
Services resumed in April 1974 initially with a single ex-United Airlines Boeing 720-022 TF-VVA. She was delivered to the airline at the beginning of the month with a TT 32075 hours. And on 20th April she was seen at Palma de Mallorca (the other principal destination was Malaga) in basic United Airlines colours and with Air Viking titles. Later the Air Viking logo and Icelandic flag were added.
In May another former United Airlines Boeing 720-022 was delivered as TF-VVB.
With the new equipment Air Viking was able to expand it’s services significantly, charters were now operated to such far away places as Vancouver, Las Palmas, Bangkok and Seoul."

Noted at Riem on 21 March 1973.
Delivered on 28th April 1960, G-APFD operated BOAC's first revenue earning 707 flight on 27th May 1960 from Heathrow to New York (source: Steve Fitzgerald, airliners.net). To BEA Airtours in 1973, renamed British Airtours in 1974. Leased to Air Mauritius from 1977 to 1979.

The aircraft was bought by Boeing in November 1979 (traded in against B747-236Bs), and the same day (6.11.79) was sold on again to Commercial Airtransport Sales. It arrived at Fort Lauderdale on 10.11.1979 and was stored - as far as I know this was the aircraft‘s last flight. ... D & L Aviation broke the aircraft up at FLL in August 1986, and the remains left by road that month. (Source: diesel1, airliners.net)

"The first of three Boeing 707-320Cs for United Arab Airlines (SU-AOU) made its delivery flight from Seattle to Cairo, via Heathrow Airport, London, on October 21. It enters service between Cairo and London tomorrow, November 1." (From Flight International. Vol. 94, 31 October 1968, as cited in en.wikipedia.org)
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
Operated by UAA/Egyptair from new in 3.68 till 2.94, latterly as a freighter, this 707 went on to have several Zairean registrations: 9Q-CJM, CRA, CKG and CKB, lastly with Hewa Bora. Control was lost during a landing in a thunderstorm at Kinshasa on 26.4.02 - the aircraft was w/o after running off onto the grass shearing off engines and undercarriage.

N705PA
Boeing 707-331
17686/124
Pan American World Airways (Pan Am)
N705PA lined up on runway 25 for take-off. This aircraft would visit Riem again on 24 and 31 October, 7 and 21 November 1975 flying for EgyptAir leased from L&S Leasing - all white with Air Manila cheatline.
This plane had a long and colourful history: 17686/124 (first flight 22 April 1960) was destined for TWA as N774TW but ntu. It left Pan Am’s fleet in May 1972. Subsequent operators included World Airways, Air Florida, Alaska Airlines, Globe Air Lines, Air Manila, Air Holiday, AeroAmerica, EgyptAir, Sobelair/Sabena, African Air Charter, PIA, C.F. Willis III, and Royal Fiji Military Forces. It ended up stored at Kuala Lumpur from 1980 with Malaysian Civil Aviation. Moved to and preserved at Kelana Jaya Park, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1984. Eventually broken up in May 1991. (Sources: planelogger.com, rzjets.net, airhistory.net, skystef.be)

Sabena
Sabena’s OO-SGB was noted at Riem several times during the mid-1970s, including on 11 October 1974 (probably the date of this shot), 7 November 1974, 20 October 1975, and 3 January 1976. OO-SGA, Sabena’s first Boeing 747-129(M), was seen at MUC on 3 November 1972 (diverted from BRU) and 7 June 1973.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
OO-SGB was delivered in December 1970 and was sold to Nationair as C-GNXH 20 years later, then being leased to Garuda for three periods before going into store at Mojave in January 1994; b/u early 1998.

Two World Airways B707s at Riem at the same time, which was certainly an unusual sight. I haven’t found out the identity of the second one yet.
Information from flickr (slightly adapted) - thanks to Paul:
First flight 20 December 1966 and delivered to World Airways as N371WA on 22 December 1966. Sold to Pakistan International Airlines as AP-AWV in June 1971. PIA donated the aircraft to Bangladesh Biman as S2-ABQ in 1976 who operated it until it was damaged beyond repair at Singapore on 3 April 1980: S2-ABQ was operating Biman flight from Singapore to Dhaka. During take-off, after gaining some height, the aircraft came down and struck the runway and slid for 2000 feet. All 9 crew members and 65 passengers survived the accident (source: aparm.net).

Boeing 707-386C

Iran National Airlines (Iran Air)
The registration is not visible, but EP-IRM was noted at Riem on 6 April 1970 as a rare visitor, and the wooden fence visible in the distance dates this photo to 1970, so I’m pretty certain that this aircraft is in fact EP-IRM - brand new at the time as it was only delivered on 17 March 1970. Note Lufthansa B707-430 D-ABOF on the left and a Lufthansa Viscount in the later colours in the distance.
First flight on 4 March 1970 and delivered to Iran Air on 17 March 1970, leased to Iran Air Tour in 1996 and later sold to Iranian Air Force presumably for spares. Permanently wfu at Tehran-Mehrabad, last noted 20 November 2014. (Sources: rzjets, scramble)

Flying Tigers/Cargo Air Lines (C.A.L.)
N809FT visited Riem a number of times in February 1979 operating for C.A.L. in basic Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF) colours. The previous registration N750WA used by World Airways was overpainted but is still discernible here on the tail. On the nose, there’s a partly peeled off "The Airfreight Airline" sticker, and, to the right of the door, something like "On lease to CAL Cargo Airlines Ltd" or "Operated by CAL Cargo Airines Ltd" is written. When flying for World Airways and Flying Tigers later in the early 1980s, the basic shape of the dark green IIAF cheatline was maintained, but overpainted in red.
Information from flickr - thanks to Kerry Taylor:
Delivered new to Continental Airlines as N26861 on 18May70. Returned to Boeing and converted to a freighter and delivered to the Iranian Air Force as 5-289 in Sep75. Reregistered to 5-8110 in 1976.

Stephan Barth’s notes:
Looks like a full colour-scheme, but is in fact a Fokker demonstrator cabin stripe with an added THY-tail logo. Returned from Turkey after a few weeks lease and stopped at Munich for fuel. - The airframe was derelict at Saskatoon in 2012.
This Fokker completed its first flight on 5 May 1971. Destined for Turavia as I-VAGA but ntu (though painted in the carrier’s colours), it was then leased to a number of operators including Ghana Airways, Braathens S.A.F.E., SATCO, AeroPeru, THY and Garuda before being sold to Piedmont Airlines as N282N in April 1984. It went on to USAir as N461AU, Atlantic Island Airways as C-FAIF, Canadian Regional, Air Canada Regional and Jazz Air as C-FCRU. (Source: rzjets.net)

Information from airliners.net - thanks to Dmitry Avdeev:
This was the first jet operated by El Al, delivered in May 1961 and had the honor of establishing two world records. On June 15, 1961 4X-ATA flew 5760 miles nonstop - a new distance record for a scheduled commercial flight. Accomplished in 9 hours, 33 minutes, this flight also set the speed record for JFK-TLV flight. 4X-ATA served for 23 years, retiring in 1984 (and subsequently used as a Cabin Service Trainer at TLV). In all it carried over 2 million passengers more than 36 million miles, equivalent to circling the world 1450 times, without incident.
The nose section has been preserved and was on display on the USS Intrepid in New York before it was moved to the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Garden City - Mitchel AFB (Mitchel Field), New York, USA.

Ill-fated I-TIGI starting its take-off roll from Riem’s runway 25 in August 1975.
Information from en.wikipedia.org:
On 27 June 1980, Itavia Flight 870 (IH 870, AJ 421), a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 passenger jet en route from Bologna to Palermo, Italy, crashed into the Tyrrhenian Sea between the islands of Ponza and Ustica, killing all 81 people on board. Known in Italy as the Ustica disaster ("strage di Ustica"), the disaster led to numerous investigations, legal actions and accusations, and continues to be a source of controversy, including claims of conspiracy by the Italian government and others. The Prime Minister of Italy at the time, Francesco Cossiga, attributed the crash to being accidentally shot down during a dogfight between Libyan and NATO fighter jets. A 1994 report argued the cause of the crash was a terrorist bomb, one in a years-long series of bombings in Italy. On 23 January 2013, Italy's top criminal court ruled that there was "abundantly" clear evidence that the flight was brought down by a missile, but the perpetrators are still missing.
Here’s an article on the crash on the occasion of its 40th anniversary in 2020:

Information from oldjets:
In the summer of 1976 Lufthansa retired it's Rolls-Royce powered Boeing 707-430s. Of the 5 707-430s that the airline owned, 4 of them went on to work either directly or indirectly with infamous Biafra war mercenary pilot, Henry 'Hank' Warton.
...
And so what of N64739 which had returned State-side in November 1977 after it’s stint as a gun runner? It was registered in Ireland in August 1978 as EI-BFN with Interconair, Dublin who already owned a Britannia and intended to use the 707 on long-haul livestock and general charters (N9985F had their titles applied but never entered service), however there were certification difficulties and the aircraft returned to the US register as N90498 with Landy in January 1979 at Manston. In April 1979 it left Manson for Tripoli as 5A-CVA with STAC (Soc. Transports Aériens Centrafricains), a company formed by Emperor Jean-Bédel Bokassa, to carry ivory for resale abroad. Bokassa was overthrown in a coup in September 1979 and the aircraft was nominally transferred to United African Airlines, the successors to STAC. The aircraft officially reverted to N90498 with Anderson Aviation in January 1980, but never departed Tripoli, remaining there till 1988 when it was broken up.

Itavia (leased from Fokker)
Coming in to land on runway 25 with a Lufthansa B727-30 behind. PH-ZBG with Itavia was also noted at Riem on 17 May 1974 and 5 July 1974. On 8 March 1980, this airframe visited Riem as F-GBBX with Air France.
This Fokker has a long and complicated history. The various sources don’t always agree, and none of the histories seems to be complete.
Information from www.itavia.it:
This Fokker made its first flight on February 18, 1971 and was delivered to Aviaction on February 25 of the same year registered as D-AHLA. It returned to Fokker on 11 December 1973 and was leased to Itavia from 10 May 1974 to 31 October 1975, registered as PH-ZBG. Subsequently leased to Pars Air on 8 March 1977 registered as EP-PAS, and then to Air Alsace on 30 March 1978 as F-GBBX. With the same registration it then went on to Air France on 2 January 1981, and, on 1 October 1984, to TAT, which chartered it for short periods to Time Air, Palair Macedonian, Iran Aseman and Air Sicilia. In 1997 the airframe was sold to Air Dabia and re-registered as C5-ACE, but not taken up by the latter and returned to TAT, which resold it in 1998 to Air Togo re-registered as 5V-TPO, transferred to African Airlines as 5Y-AXH in April 1999, and finally back to Air Togo in January 2000. Transferred to Bamako (Mali) on 27 December 2002.
