Founded in 1944 by
two former Douglas employees (Ted Smith being one), Aero
Engineering Company and introduced the first AC 520 in
1948. In 1950 they changed their name to Aero Design &
Engineering Company introducing the AC680 in 1954.
Through all those years the Aero Commander was last
produced in 1980. Today, Commander Aircraft is known for
the Commander 115 series. Did you know the AC680
 was
the smallest air
Force One (1956-1960).

 |
| Although the
747-200 was developed after the 747-100, it was built
during roughly the same time frame. The first -200 went
into commercial service in 1971, and Boeing delivered a
total of 393, the last in 1991. Although its external
appearance is nearly identical to the 747-100, it was
designed to carry more payload. In addition to being
offered as a passenger airplane, the -200 was the first
747 to be configured as a
freighter,
a combination passenger-freighter and a convertible. |

| With the lowest
operating cost per ton-mile in the industry, the
new-technology Boeing 747-400 Freighter is the all-cargo
transport member of the 747-400 family. It can carry
twice as much cargo, twice as far, as the competitor's
leading freighter. Along with earlier versions, 747
Freighters - about 225 in all - carry half of all the
world's freighter
air
cargo. |

 |
| America entered the
age of the jet transport on July 15, 1954, when the
Boeing 707 prototype, the model 367-80, made its maiden
flight from Renton Field, south of Seattle. Forerunner
of the more than 14,000 Boeing jetliners built since,
the prototype, nicknamed the "Dash 80," served 18 years
as a flying test laboratory before it was turned over to
the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in May 1972. The
refurbished Dash 80 made a special fly-over of the five
Boeing facilities in the Puget Sound area on
July
15, 1991. |

 |
| At the 50's De
Havilland Comet was a real revolution at the field of
commercial airplanes as it was the first civil aircraft
with jet engines. That aircraft was very good but after
some time problems came up, problems that hurt its
reliability. The passengers were able to pay something
more to travel with speed and luxury. So, Howard Hughes,
an eccentric shareholder of TWA, gave the idea to
Convair to create a new jet plane that could carry
passengers at high speeds and with comfort. Hughes
also
promised that TWA would buy a large number of these
aircraft. |

| The de Havilland
Canada DHC-7 was the first STOL Airplane certified
according to FAR25 criteria for transport. With design
commencing on July 12, 1971 the first airframe commenced
assembly in Hanger #1 at Downsview in September 1972.
The first aircraft was delivered to Rocky Mountain
Airways in February 1978. Following this delivery,
another 99 were delivered but due to the recession of
the early 80's following
the
sale to Boeing production was terminated. |

"The Douglas DC-3
revolutionized air transportation and airline service
during the 1930s and 1940s. It was a luxury airliner
that boasted cabin heat and running water in its
on-board lavatory.
With the right balance of efficiency, range, speed, and
payload, the DC-3 was the first aircraft to earn a
profit for its owners just by carrying passengers. The
hero of early
airlines,
a handful of DC-3s are still at work today." |

The DC-7C was a
complete redesign abandoning the wing of the DC-4
allowing a further substantial increase in fuel and oil
capacity.
Updated engines gave slightly more power for take off
and climb, but since the DC-7C
was
lbs heavier than the DC-7B performance was significantly
reduced.

| The DC-8 is one of
the earliest jet-powered commercial passenger aircraft.
A capacity for improved power, payload and range
capabilities was inherent in the DC-8 design. Four basic
models were produced: the Series 10 through 50, in
passenger, freighter and convertible freighter versions;
and the Super 60, with freighter models of each. The
last of 556 aircraft was delivered on May 13, 1972,
marking the end of 15 years of
production,
at which time there were 48 operators in 28 nations. |

|
|
 |
| The Fairchild
Metroliner III comes somewhere between a private jet and
a regional airliner. It is often used as a charter or as
a company plane. It can relatively easily be converted
from a twelve-seater VIP-configuration into a small
airliner, or cargo. And for the latter reason, it has a
relatively large luggage door for this type of plane.
This also makes it highly suitable to quickly transport
technical service teams and their
equipment
to problem situations. |

| The Maule M-7-260,
equipped with 260 hp Lycoming IO-540-V4A5 engine, is the
most powerful model in the Maule fleet. It can easily be
outfitted for work and for luxurious cross-country
cruising. With its fast cruise speed and slow stall
speed, the M-7-260 is a very comfortable and safe travel
airplane. The 260hp engine also nicely enhances
performance
of amphibious float equipped M-7’s. |

| A new category of
airplane was added to the world's air transportation
system when the DC-10 entered scheduled airline service.
It has been demonstrating its value to airlines and air
travelers since then, winning world recognition for its
reliability, comfort and efficiency in more than 25
million hours of revenue flight. In addition to the
luxury and spaciousness inherent in its wide cabin, the
three-engine DC-10 incorporated improvements in
propulsion, aerodynamics, structure, avionics, flight
control systems
and
environmental compatibility that advanced industry
standard. |

configuration of 120 passengers, it can fly up to 3,205
nautical miles (5,940 kilometers). In an all-cargo
layout, the 737-700C can carry up to 40,000 pounds
(18,200 kilograms) of cargo and fly up to 2,880 nautical
