Who operates a 707 with Boeing factory livery?
Official airplane of Democratic Republic of Congo

Today, the Democratic Republic of Congo uses a B707-138B, registered 9Q-CLK: LK for Laurent Kabila.

Laurent Kabila has been Congo's President until his assassination (he was succeeded by his son).

This is an airplane with a long history (and some controversy). She has now 707 painted on the tail, but not the Boeing markings. Thanks to our friends at Airliners.net several pictures are available:
