Hello again! :DOften derided as
Hello again! :D
Often derided as one of Boeing's biggest commercial failures, the 720 was essentially a stop-gap for the firm in developing dedicated short-to-medium range jet airliners during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and while it's easy to criticize this machine based entirely on its sales figures, the truth of the matter is that what was meant to be an interim measure did in fact lead to a model that saw work in all walks of life, ranging from frontline, high frequency stalwart of American transport corridors, to engine testbed, to airliner safety crash mule, to flying tour bus, to even being a war hero in its own right throughout one of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
