Look at this picture closely... it is not your ordinary 707

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Strange modification, what is its purpose?

It looks like it has typical tanker "bulges" of the KC-137 -without the boom.

An air refuelling boom. ???

Could it have been brought from the Army Surplus shop and modded back into an airliner? Grin

EP-SHE is an ex Iran air force (K)C-135 tanker...
They got rid of the tanker boom after installing a hose system (could be traces left of that too). Probably phased out after they got the Il-78 and now operating in passenger service.

it seats less than a normal 707, about 170 seats.

Check this one out, it is, belive it or not, a concept design based on the 707, but you probably won't recognise it!
