Aircraft Data
The Boeing 707 was the first non military jet to be commercially successful and is generally credited as ushering in the Jet Age. It established Boeing as the worlds largest makers of airliners. Dash80 was the name of the prototype.
The 707-300 was a stretched version allowed for up to 189 passengers while a longer wing carried more fuel, increasing range by some 1,600 miles allowing the aircraft to operate to transoceanic destinations
