	N70700 (cn 17158) On July 15, 1954, a graceful, swept-winged aircraft, bedecked in brown and yellow paint and powered by four revolutionary new engines first took to the sky above Seattle. Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the 367-80, better known as the Dash 80, would come to revolutionize commercial air transportation when its developed version entered service as the famous Boeing 707, America's first jet airliner.

	None (cn None) A spectacular view from the Donald D. Engen observation tower at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center. From 164 feet up, you get a super view of Dulles Int'l Airport to the left center of the picture. Even better, the aircraft land on both sides of the tower, and with a 360 degree view, you can watch aircraft throughout the pattern. Timed correctly, you can see a continuous stream of international heavies coming in one after another. If you like airplanes, you HAVE to go there! That's my Dad in the foreground soaking up the view. We could have spent all day up there.
