Image Not Available for The first jet transport plane produced in the United States nears completion at Boeing Aircraft plant in Renton, Washington State. The big four-jet 190,000-pound aircraft will be the test model for demonstration to commercial and military buyers. It represents an investment of $15,000,000 by the Boeing Corporation. The "transport of the future" is 128 feet long with a wing-spread of 130 feet. A cruising speed of 550 miles-per-hour will permit regular transcontinental (New York to West Coast) flights in less than five hours and trans-Atlantic (New York to London) flights in less than seven hours. Passenger load in high speed comfort will vary from 80 to 150 depending on distances and other operational requirements.

Image Not Available for [Sumo Indian girl (arms akimbo behind head) in village on Atlantic coast of Nica. I lobbied the revolutionary leaders for weeks to get permission and transport to the east coast. When they finally granted it the flight on ancient 1930s aircraft was terrifying. It basically crash landed on a grass strip on the coast and never flew again. We were shaken up but not injured. Once there I discovered I had miscalculated. No one spoke Spanish (just indigenous languages) so I couldn't do any interviews. Hence kids.]
