I'll admit, most of my knowledge of the 707 comes from dragging the internet for information for the Historic Jetliners Group (

No fair, you cheated! I've got more of the HJG's work than I care to admit, including a certain airline's entire 707 fleet. Come to think of it, their work forms the backbone of my civil fleet. I've always been very happy with their work and their research---it was
their site I was trying to pick out the engine details from while watching.
(Of course, the true classic American jetliner engine is the CJ805.)CAPFlyer wrote:
There's several good 707 books out there, but I don't have any of them.
Generally, anything from the "Airliner Tech" or "Airliner Color History" series has proven to be very good sources of information for me on other aircraft types in the past.
Thanks, I'll make a note of that.

Might be interesting if they could get some good 1970's era actor to play an older pilot, like Treat Williams or Paul LeMat...
This. I think the series needed to have included an older guy in the left seat for credibility, while the current male lead should have been newly promoted to co-pilot aboard the London-New York run.

And if the series makes it into next year (1964), I'll bet there'll be a storyline putting the characters on N704PA/Clipper Defiance bringing the Beatles to New York
Which angle do you think they'll take---
Majestic fills in for
Defiance or the crew of
Majestic miraculously arrives via helicopter to take the place of the
Defiance crew? Hey, the latter worked for Christina Ricci. You could be on to something!
