	Boeing: History -- Products - Boeing 707/720 Commercial Transport
		After the Air Force agreed to let Boeing build commercial jets based on the prototype, 367-80, already the basis for the KC-135 military tanker, airlines began to order the 707, the commercial transport variant of the Dash 80.
		Boeing delivered 856 Model 707s in all versions between 1957 and 1994; of these, 725, delivered between 1957 and 1978, were for commercial use.
		The 707 was designated the 720 when it was modified for short-to-medium routes and for use on shorter runways.

		The "Dash 80," as it was called within Boeing, cost $16 million to develop and took less than two years from project launch in 1952 to rollout on May 14, 1954.
		Boeing's answer to the problem was the first twin aisle airliner - the 747.
		The Boeing 720, originally designated 707-020 but later changed for marketing reasons, was a modification of the 707-120 designed for medium-range operation from shorter runways.

		Boeing delivered a total of 1,010 Boeing 707s, which dominated passenger air transport in the 1960s and remained common through the 1970s.
		At the time, Boeing was making nearly all of its money from military contracts: its last passenger transport, the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, had netted the company a $15 million loss before it was purchased by the Air Force as the KC-97 Stratotanker.

	Boeing 707 Jet Transport - USA
		The Boeing 707 was the United States' first production jet airliner, and the aircraft with which the US first gained the lead in commercial jet manufacture.
		This original Boeing 707 was followed by a whole family of 707 passenger and cargo variants, with different lengths and weights, and turbofan power.
		Including the prototype, there are eight Boeing jet airliners; the others are the 707-120, the 707-120B, the 707-220, the 707-320, the 707-420, the 720 and the 720B.

	How the 720 got its number (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Boeing initially considered dubbing it the 707-020 series, since it essentially was a derivative 707 model.
		Boeing management pondered this, and since it very badly wanted a launch customer (and to prevent a sale to Convair), it decided to name the new model the ``720'' instead.
		In fact, most other carriers proudly trumpeted the ``720'' tag, since the higher number did make it appear that it was a more advanced model than the 707's being produced at their side at the Boeing factory.

		The 720 is a smaller capacity, lighter, medium range variant of the 707, given its own model number to indicate significant engineering changes.
		Introduced in 1959, the 720 (originally designated 707-020) retained the same basic structure as the 707-120, but was 2.54m (8ft 4in) shorter, which reduced seating to 112 (38 + 74) in a typical two class arrangement.
		But many components were interchangeable between the 720 and 707, while inside the cabin the 720 and 707 shared the same passenger interior and flightdeck.

	Condon Report, Case 21: Airport Radar Sighting (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This possibility appears to be precluded by the different pulse frequencies of the surveillance and precision radars (1000 and 5500 per sec., respectively), and by the behavior of the bogie, which appeared to relate it to the Boeing 720.
		If it is assumed that the bogie was a secondary echo from a reflector near the runway, then the bogie would have been always the same distance behind the 720 as the reflector in front of it, and would have appeared on the line of sight from the precision radar antenna to the 720.
		In general, the association of the unidentified target with the 720 and the lack of a visible counterpart suggest strongly that it was a radar artifact.

		Another difference that the 720 had that i never saw on a 707 was a underside "small tail fin" which was about 1-foot high and about 2-foot long....
		A 720 that was dumped in Dublin (bahama world airlines -i think) with a red-dolphin-on-tail-fin had this "feature" and when asked about this 'we' were told it was an additional fin to improve stability.

		On the morning of December 1, 1984, a remotely controlled Boeing 720 transport took off from Edwards Air Force Base (Edwards, California), made a left-hand departure and climbed to an altitude of 2300 feet.
		It was planned that the aircraft would land wings-level and exactly on the centerline during the CID, thus allowing the fuselage to remain intact as the wings were sliced open by eight posts cemented into the runway.
		The Boeing 720 landed askew and caused a cabin fire when burning fuel was able to enter the fuselage.

		The Boeing 720 (it was called the 717 during development) was a short-lived, short-to-medium range version of the 707 that was phased out after the introduction of the 727.
		Boeing, which had lost United Airlines first jet order (of what was 30 aircraft in 1955 but had increased to 40 in 1957) to Douglas and its DC-8 was willing to tailor this airliner to regain United.
		While some view the aircraft as failure, it should be pointed out that Boeing sold 154 of the aircraft and it was a mere derivative of the 707 rather than being an expensive new design.

	737early
		As the 707-120 line expanded in size and range with the 707-320 and 720 series, Boeing designed a new airplane to bring jet airplane advantages of speed, smoothness, and comfort to short and medium sized cities, and routes demanding less capacity than the 707.
		In Boeing internal manufacturing paperwork, she is PA099, as she was assigned the last number of a 99 airplane block (PA001-PA099) assigned to DLH airplanes.
		After a very successful first flight (some other Boeing first flights, including the 757 and 767 being not nearly as smooth), she landed at Paine Field in Everett, her test base until 10 hours flying time had been accumulated, when she could return to Boeing Field.

		In the best case scenario, the aircraft is "N" registered and can be operated as a Part 125 airplane based in the United States, with reduced power settings enabling the aircraft to comply with stage III noise rules (as is the case with John Travolta's 707).
		Any airline (that perhaps operated Boeing 707s in the 60s or 70s) that would like to sponsor this unique opportunity is encouraged to contact me. An ideal scenario would be to find an aircraft owner that is willing to donate an aircraft to the group, in exchange for a tax write-off.
