The last civilian plane was in 1987. That is a long civilian service life. The British government prevented one of the last from being sold to the USA. This means the last Comet retired from service while the Boeing 707 line was still producing new aircraft since the last 707 rolled off the lines in 1991. Think about it. I did and the Comet was introduction for longer being about 10 years ahead of the 707 - a pioneering ground breaking plane. Hardly This one can't even count. ** snip ** |
