(click below image for larger format) Throughout the Lebanese civil war, Lebanon's flag-carrier airline MEA kept flying, while almost everything else in Beirut was destroyed. Most would have thought that Middle East Airlines, like the country it serves, should have gone out of business.
This DVD examines the story behind MEA's remarkable survival, with on-location action footage of MEA Boeing 707 and Boeing 720 aircraft shot at Athens, Beirut and Larnaca Airport, as well as once-in-a-lifetime flights aboard these historic aircraft. Exterior and interior footage of 707 air-starts (one engine at a time), taxiing, take-off, passenger cabin and cockpit, and landings will bring back the memories of what it was like to fly as a passenger on a Boeing 707!
In September, 1994, with MEA's assistance, airline videographer Henry Tenby traveled to Beirut to visit the airline and document their current day operation, which was then, one of the world's last, passenger Boeing 707 operations.
MEA retired the last Boeing 707 in 1997, but their memory lives on forever on this DVD, dedicated to the many MEA employees responsible for the company's survival. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your MEA flights!

Customer comments:
"I enjoyed this DVD immensely. In fact, I remember
first reading your Beirut MEA 707 article in Airliners
magazine when I was younger."
Carter Kwong, Toronto, Canada
"I wish to congratulate you on this DVD with the most wonderful and
rare shots of MEA and the old BEY airport. As both the airport and
the airline have totally changed, and in this respect your DVD is
unique in the sense that it would be impossible to get such
pictures and views today. Congratulations!"
Charbel Khazen, London, UK
"Many congratulations on producing such an interesting and well
put together film on these beautiful aircraft.
I was knocked out by it completely!
Gary Russell, UK
"I must tell you that this DVD was first class and most excellent viewing.
I liked the overall presentation including the background local knowledge
and off airfield sequences. Whilst the 707s are the stars, it is the people
and the places they fly between that make the whole operation necessary."
Nigel Tully, UK
