Many have come to the Museum of Flight. Some have even come and stayed at my house. One such friend is a man named Mogu. He lives in Japan and loves the 737. He loves it so much that he has translated my 737 web pages into Japanese. It has been a very long task for him. Last year, he came to visit. Of course, I got him on the 737 Prototype. He was very excited!!!

Boeing Field Flight Line - 1967 - 1969   West Coast DC-9-10 doing practice approach         This is one of 3 Mexicana 727s that were repossessed by Boeing for non-payment. Boeing Owned Airplanes and White Tails  In the mid to late 1960s, Boeing built quite a few airplanes for themselves. This 707-320C - N68657 - was built for Demo, Training, and Quick Sale purposes. Boeing also released Production Blocks of 50 airplanes each, different models. These were labeled as "Universal" airplanes, or Spec airplanes. They were intended to be Quick Delivery airplanes, for a customer who walked in the door and wanted an airplane Fast! Only some of the block of 50 were built. Most airplanes were actually sold before rollout. A few needed to be stored for a while. These two 727s fell into that category.  727-100  727-200  "White Tails" were airplanes that were built for a customer who could not take the airplane on completion, for assorted reasons. This Air France airplane - a 707-320C - fell into that category. The east side of Boeing Field always sported an interesting assortment of visiting aircraft.  A DC-7 belonging to Herman's Hermits - a music group.  A YS-11 on a delivery flight to LANSA, a short-lived Peruvian airline.  A Capitol DC-8 on a charter - likely military.  A Quebecair F-27 just sold to West Coast Airlines - still with Canadian registry.  A Lake Havasu Connie  A Zantop DC-7 Thanks for looking - tune in for #21 Aviation Eye Candy #21 pending
