America entered the age of
the jet transport on July 15, 1954, when the Boeing 707 prototype,
the model 367-80, made its maiden flight from Renton Field,
south of Seattle. Forerunner of the more than 14,000 Boeing
jetliners built since, the prototype, nicknamed the "Dash
80," served 18 years as a flying test laboratory before
it was turned over to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in
May 1972. The refurbished Dash 80 made a special fly-over of
the five Boeing facilities in the Puget Sound area on
 July
15, 1991. |

| At the 50's De Havilland
Comet was a real revolution at the field of commercial airplanes
as it was the first civil aircraft with jet engines. That aircraft
was very good but after some time problems came up, problems
that hurt its reliability. The passengers were able to pay something
more to travel with speed and luxury. So, Howard Hughes, an
eccentric shareholder of TWA, gave the idea to Convair to create
a new jet plane that could carry passengers at high speeds and
with comfort. Hughes
also
promised that TWA would buy a large number of these aircraft. |

| The de Havilland Canada
DHC-7 was the first STOL Airplane certified according to FAR25
criteria for transport. With design commencing on July 12, 1971
the first airframe commenced assembly in Hanger #1 at Downsview
in September 1972. The first aircraft was delivered to Rocky
Mountain Airways in February 1978. Following this delivery,
another 99 were delivered but due to the recession of the early
80's following
the
sale to Boeing production was terminated. |

"The Douglas DC-3 revolutionized
air transportation and airline service during the 1930s and
1940s. It was a luxury airliner that boasted cabin heat and
running water in its on-board lavatory.
With the right balance of efficiency, range, speed, and payload,
the DC-3 was the first aircraft to earn a profit for its owners
just by carrying passengers. The hero of early
airlines,
a handful of DC-3s are still at work today." |

 |
The DC-7C was a complete
redesign abandoning the wing of the DC-4 allowing a further
substantial increase in fuel and oil capacity.
Updated engines gave slightly more power for take off and climb,
but since the DC-7C
was
lbs heavier than the DC-7B performance was significantly reduced.

| The DC-8 is one of the earliest
jet-powered commercial passenger aircraft. A capacity for improved
power, payload and range capabilities was inherent in the DC-8
design. Four basic models were produced: the Series 10 through
50, in passenger, freighter and convertible freighter versions;
and the Super 60, with freighter models of each. The last of
556 aircraft was delivered on May 13, 1972, marking the end
of 15 years of
production,
at which time there were 48 operators in 28 nations. |

|
|
 |
| The Fairchild Metroliner
III comes somewhere between a private jet and a regional airliner.
It is often used as a charter or as a company plane. It can
relatively easily be converted from a twelve-seater VIP-configuration
into a small airliner, or cargo. And for the latter reason,
it has a relatively large luggage door for this type of plane.
This also makes it highly suitable to quickly transport technical
service teams and their
equipment
to problem situations. |

aircraft has more than 62 variants which
attests
to it's great flexibility. |

| The Maule M-7-260, equipped
with 260 hp Lycoming IO-540-V4A5 engine, is the most powerful
model in the Maule fleet. It can easily be outfitted for work
and for luxurious cross-country cruising. With its fast cruise
speed and slow stall speed, the M-7-260 is a very comfortable
and safe travel airplane. The 260hp engine also nicely enhances
performance
of amphibious float equipped M-7’s. |

| A new category of airplane
was added to the world's air transportation system when the
DC-10 entered scheduled airline service. It has been demonstrating
its value to airlines and air travelers since then, winning
world recognition for its reliability, comfort and efficiency
in more than 25 million hours of revenue flight. In addition
to the luxury and spaciousness inherent in its wide cabin, the
three-engine DC-10 incorporated improvements in propulsion,
aerodynamics, structure, avionics, flight control systems
and
environmental compatibility that advanced industry standard. |
