It was leased twice. The first was for less than a month to Air Congo of Leopoldville, Belgian Congo (now Zaire), during March 1967; the second was for several months in 1967 to Nigeria Airways of Lagos, Nigeria.

Sold to Israeli Aircraft Industries on February 25, 1977, it was leased to El Al Airlines of Tel Aviv, Israel, the same date until July 31, 1977, registered as 4X-BYM. In October 1977, it was sold to the Israeli AF with s/n 137, call sign 4X-JYM. The 707 was converted for electronic and signal intelligence missions and placed in service. It was withdrawn from use and stored at Tel Aviv in December 1998, still stored April 2006.

The registration OO-SJG was original intended for 707-328 c/n 18375 but was not taken up; that aircraft went to Air France."
