This looks just like the famous picture of the Boeing test pilot showing
off the bird in front of the military and investors way back in 195?? His
name was "Tex" something. After he did the aileron roll (which was a
simple 1 g manuever), he was told never to do that again as it might upset
future paying passengers. The navigator in back snapped this picture. It's
true, ...Look it up

This is my favorite 707 photo, of course, it's not a 707, it's the
prototype Dash 80, upside down over the hydroplane race course on Lake
Washington, west Seattle in the distance. My father-in-law was there, and
talks about it to this day.

Taken at Kansas City Municipal airport a few months before the airplane
crashed there.
