Boeing 707 Jet
Liner Completes
Its Flight Tests
RENTON, Wash. — The first
Boeing 707 production jet air
liner to come off the production
line at the Boeing Airplane Com
pany Transport Division plant
here completed 47 hours and nine
minutes in the air on flight tests
in the first six weeks following
its maiden flight Dec. 20, the
company has revealed.
During the first phase of flight
testing, which preceded start of
the formal Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration certification pro
gram, the airplane cruised at
speeds in excess of 580 miles per
hour at altitudes of more than
30,000 feet. It has been dived at
speeds of more than 650 miles an
hour. Highest altitude reached
thus far has been 39,000 feet.
“We have flown the airplane
on a total of 28 flights thus far,”
James R. Gannett, Boeing 707 test
pilot reported, “and it has fully
come up to expectations. There
have been, of course, some minor
adjustments made,' but nothing
has been encountered in the way
of a major ‘squawk.’ Such excel
lence in performance, however,
was anticipated because of al
most four years of testing and re
finement with the 707 prototype.”

Is Advice of This Mailman
IDAHO FALLS, UP)—Mail car
rier Dale Strahle says dogs are
like people—they don’t want to
be ignored. So he says the way
to avoid being nipped by mean
