In article , leslie wrote: It was over Lake Washington; this site includes some photos shot from the Dash-80 during the rolls: On August 7, 1955, Alvin M. "Tex" Johnston stuns the crowd at the Seafair Gold Cup hydroplane race on Lake Washington by barrel (or aileron) rolling the prototype Dash-80, the precursor to the Boeing 707, thus launching the era of the modern commercial jet. Is someone going to roll a 367-80 over Lake Washington on August 7, 2005 to properly commemorate the 50th anniversary of that event? doubt it since there's only ONE of them and it's in the Smithsonian air and space museum ;-) Couldn't we use a regular old 707 then? -- Goliath & Wildwing's Storage Room http://anatidae.homestead.com/ The 8th Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles http://gathering.gargoyles-fans.org Gargoyles SETI@home group http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/s...am_167065.html |

There is only one 367-80, and it is parked at the Smithsonian at Washington Dulles airport. Which will open up to the p[ublic in December! |
