       What can we say about the iconic Boeing 707 that hasn't been said before? Well here goes... The first flight was on December 20th 1957 and in total 1,010 Boeing 707s were built for civillian use between 1958 and 1978. The 707 production line remained open for purpose-built military variants until 1991. Traces of the 707 are still found in the 737, which uses a modified version of the 707s fuselage, as well as the same external nose and cockpit configurations. These were also used on the previous 727, while the 757 also used the 707 fusleage cross-section.
