Boeing 707 328C
Here's another interesting plane - a Boeing 707-328C.
These flew from 1982 until 2007.
There were 5 in total, supplied by Israel. The photos show one at the end of its life.
The aircraft were truly multi purpose - being used for air to air refueling, maritime patrol (including down to Antarctica) and ELINT.
The side-cheeks (identical on both sides of the plane) housed the automatic ELINT Emitter Locating System (AEELS)/Elta 8300 ELINT suite. The aircraft never carried any Side Looking Airborne Radar.

The last picture is an odd one of a Mirage F-1CZ in its cheetah "camo" scheme. Aircraft retired now.
