As beautiful as the P-51 is, and as macho as the DC-6, has anyone
ever made a transport as lovely as the 707?  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?
