[HANG THE EXPENSE]

The max take off is very impressive but the roll in the 707 still takes the prize.And Tex performed it wearing cowboy boots.

Beautiful take-off footage (despite the choice of airline). Pucker factor 7!

And quiet too.

LOL!

They should do the same rolls the 707 did. I would bet they’d be no problem for it now.

Looks like it has plenty of power.

Good looking plane. The dihedral angle, sweep and flaired wingtips make it look cool.

Now that some have been flying awhile I’d like to see how the composite body parts are holding up, especially around the welds.

[Delta 21]

Very long wings. Looks graceful. Hope they dont come unraveled in flight.

[Secret Agent Man]

Doubt that. :)

I am just interested in how the composites are holding up and if they are aging the way boeing has estimated they will. I would hope they are doing better than expected.
