Archer Aviation has signed agreements to acquire control of Hawthorne Municipal Airport (HHR) in Southern California for $126 million in cash, positioning the site as both an operations base for its planned Los Angeles air-taxi network and a testbed for artificial-intelligence-based aviation technologies.

The Boeing 707 was the first widely successful commercial jetliner and served the public to much acclaim for about three decades in mainline service before newer jets like the 737, 747, and 777 came along. The last publicly recorded revenue service flown by an airline-owned 707 touched down in 2013 by Iran’s Saha, according to Jalopnik. However, the hundreds of military variants serving the United States Air Force are still going strong. The backbone of the USAF’s vast tanker fleet is still the KC-135 Stratotanker, which was developed in parallel with the 707 airliner, and after seven decades, it has…
