Is this the pic taken by one of the Boeing 707 test pilots, flying it upside down?

That's a Lanier Glider. Only 300 were ever made, they stopped making them due to wing failure.

Boeing Dash-80 prototype of the Boeing 707. Actually it was the prototype of the KC-135, but the airframe served both military and civilian needs quite famously and in various military iterations, still does.

If we're being pedantic that's not a 707.

Edit: 367-80 is the correct designation. No, I did not have to look that up.
