The first Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft, developed by Boeing from the Boeing 707 airliner, was delivered in March 1977. The American AWACS early warning and control aircraft provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications and is used by the US Air Force, NATO, the French Air and Space Forces, the Royal Saudi Arabian Air Force and the Chilean Air Force. The E-3 has a distinctive rotating radar dome (rotodome) above the fuselage. Production ceased in 1992 after 68 aircraft were built.
The Boeing 707 was an American airliner with four engines and a narrow body fuselage. The prototype first flew in 1954, and series production lasted from 1958 to 1979. Boeing then began to produce a series of intercontinental transports to orders from the Pan American airline. In the 1960s Pan Am was the world's most glamorous airline, and at the center of their success between 1963 and 1968 was the Boeing 707-321. The aircraft became the most famous airliner of its time.
The aircraft remained in service until the early 2000s in Africa,
Latin America and elsewhere... And also with John Travolta, the owner of N707JT (the last two letters of the registration number being the initials of his name). Military and freight versions of the Boeing 707 still continue in service and will carry on flying until around 2040.
The XC-99 was an American heavy transport aircraft derived from the B-36 strategic bomber. Its first flight took place in 1947, and its Air Force service lasted from 1950 to 1975. The plane was the largest transport aircraft of its time and could carry 400 fully equipped soldiers or 45 tons of cargo.
The XC-99 set several world records in its time, and it was also extensively used by the US Air Force during the Korean War. There was a project to build a transcontinental passenger plane on its basis, but this was canceled. The US Air Force did not issue further orders for the type, and the XC-99 remained a single prototype. Until the appearance of the C-5 Galaxy, it was the largest in its class.
