NOTE: It was raised by someone in the comments that I had misspelt the word "Colombia", as "Columbia". Here is a version with this corrected:

The Boeing 707 was the first successful jet powered airliner. It first flew in 1957 and was enormously successful with airlines all over the world in the 1950s and 1960s. Intended to perform the medium to long-haul flights, previously done by propeller-powered aircraft. First conceived to fill a USAF requirement for a 4-engine aerial tanker plane, and the prototype was unveiled in 1954, the aircraft that would eventually become the 707 we all know and love. The 707 had a profound impact on aviation, and served as the basis for the 727, and 737, with many technologies and design elements re-used in those aircraft that were taken from the 707.

One such airline to operate the 707 was Avianca. They operated 9 707s, (1 to the -100 standard, 8 to the -300 standard), and 7 720Bs (The Boeing 720 was a much-shortened version of the 707). They operated their 707 fleet between 1960 and 1998, which by that point, the 707 was very much showing it’s age (For reference, the 737-800 first flew in 1997).

This particular aircraft holds a dubious place in Avianca’s history. On the night of January 25th, 1990, this particular aircraft, registration HK-2016, operating as Avianca flight AVA052, crashed while trying to land a New York John F Kennedy international Airport. Originating the Columbian capital of Bogota, with stopover in Medellín, before continuing onto New York. The aircraft ran out of fuel on final approach, after being put in repeated holds en route, and being forced to perform a go around, after there first landing attempt was foiled by windshear, as the weather in New York was abysmal. In crashed down in the small community of Cove Neck, on Long Island, killing 73 of the 158 people onboard. Debate lingers to this day about what portion of blame is each party deserves, my personal opinion is that the crash was a mixture of pilot error, ATC error, bad timing, bad weather, pilot fatigue, and management deficiencies.
