Bad boy. No! Noooo! bad. (reference to the recent photos, just wrong).
Do I have to roll up a newspaper and swat your nose?







On Thursday, March 28, 2002, the only remaining example of the Boeing model
S-307 'Stratoliner' - the world's first pressurized airliner - made a forced
landing in Elliott Bay, just west of Seattle, Washington. Apparently, there
was a loss of power to all four engines during a test flight. The four
people aboard escaped injury, and were rescued immediately.

The S-307 has spent the last six years being beautifully restored by retired
Boeing employees. It made its first post-restoration flight in July 2001.
After their first look at the recovered plane, the Boeing people think it
will fly again, but only after a lot more work.
