>Since the naming of the initial 707, all Boeing commercial jets have >>been named in succession based on the 7-7 formula: 717, 727, 737, 747, >757, 767 and 777 up to the latest Boeing commercial jet transport, the 787. Not quite true. There was the 720. And the succession shown above is not correct. The 717 came last. The first 717 was actually a military version of the 707. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the 767 saw service before the 757. David R http://home.comcast.net/~damiross/books.html -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
