There is an airplane with the perfect length fuselage (any version, the short or long), graceful wing and well formed tail. It is by far my favorite large airplane. Story has it that when the 707 was first being demonstrated to airline officials and the Air force, Tex Johnson was making a low pass and rolled the thing. That sold many airlines, right there. Just a story, can any Boeing types verify? Jeff Williams ihnp4!cfiaime
