The 707-320B is the basis of the E-3 AWACS, E-6A TACAMO, E-8 JSTARS and KE-3A tanker. The RAAF's 707-338Cs have little remaining fatigue life, with serious fatigue problems in key structural components of the wings and centresection. Moreover, other problems have arisen.

The Board noted there were deficiencies in the acquisition and documentation of 707 operational knowledge within the RAAF combined with the absence of effective mechanisms to prevent the erosion of operational knowledge at a time when large numbers of pilots were resigning from the air force. There was no official 707 QFI conversion course and ...
