Original postcard caption:

"Boeing 707 Jet Transport prototype in front of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
With wing-span or 130 ft (39.62 m), length of 128 ft (39.01 m) and tail height of over 38 ft (11.58 m) , the Boeing 707 will carry 80 to 130 passengers and cruise between 30,000 and 40,000 feet (9,144 and 12,192 m). Its gross weight is 190.000 lb (86,183 kg)."

This grandfather of all Boeing jet-transport, built in 1954, was usually referred to as "Dash Eighty" and was flown to Washington Dulles International Airport, Dulles, Virginia, USA, in August 2003. In December 2003 it was put on permanent display at NASM's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly, Virginia, USA.
