I did and the Comet was introduction for longer being about 10 years ahead
of the 707 - a pioneering ground breaking plane.


Ten years ahead? How did you determine that? The Comet made it's first
flight on July 27, 1949, the Boeing 367-80 made it's first flight on July
15, 1954, not quite five years later. The Comet began passenger service on
May 2, 1952, the Boeing 707 began passenger service on October 26, 1958,
some six and a half years later.



History will show it far
more important to aircraft advancement than the 707.


As a bad example?
