Plane in photo was a 707, not a 747

On page A3 of the Aug. 20 newspaper, The Herald ran a story on Abu Nidal, apparently released by the Associated Press. The aircraft in the picture was identified as a Pan Am 747, when in fact it is a 707. I see these misnomers regularly with aircraft involved in news stories. Just a heads up for your news people to pay closer attention to the details of stories coming from other news sources, so that they are accurate and not misleading.
