Braniff International Airways' Boeing 707-100, registered as N105BN, was part of the airline's efforts to modernize and expand its fleet in the late 1950s. The Boeing 707, America's first successful commercial jet, revolutionized air travel with its speed and range.

N105BN was delivered to Braniff in 1959 and played a significant role in the airline's operations, especially for transcontinental and international flights. The 707-100 model was known for its distinctive design, featuring a streamlined fuselage and four powerful engines, which allowed Braniff to offer faster service to its passengers.

The aircraft was part of Braniff’s distinctive branding, which included bold colors and designs that reflected the carrier's commitment to style and innovation. Throughout the 1960s, N105BN operated various routes, contributing to the airline's reputation as a pioneering force in the aviation industry.

However, as newer aircraft models were introduced, the demand for the Boeing 707 diminished. By the late 1970s, Braniff began phasing out its older models, including the 707s, in favor of more fuel-efficient jets. N105BN was eventually retired and marked the end of an era for both Braniff and the classic jet age of air travel. The story of N105BN is a reminder of the significant advancements in commercial aviation and Braniff's role in that evolution.
