Airliner - Boeing B707-120
Boeing B707-120
The jet age for Pan American began
on October 13th 1955, when Juan T. Trippe ordered 45 new jet airliners. He
put 25 orders to Douglas for their DC-8-32 and even 20 to Boeing on the 707.
It was the begin of a new time line and Pan Am made the step into it. In the
late 50' only few airlines are interessted in serving any jets on their
routs. But Trippe thought aheat and all the other airlines were surprised by
the succesess of Pan Am with their 707s.
But Pan American got the lead until 1991!
