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! |
