| Tex Johnston rolls a 707 |
 |
On August 7, 1955, Alvin M. "Tex" Johnston
stuns the crowd at the Seafair Gold Cup
hydroplane race on Lake Washington by barrel
(or aileron) rolling the prototype Dash-80,
the precursor to the Boeing 707, thus
launching the era of the modern commercial
jet. Johnston's co-pilot was Boeing test
pilot James R. Gannett (1923-2006). (What
Johnston did with the airplane was called a
barrel-roll but some consider it an aileron
roll in which a plane rotates on its long
axis, rather than describing a "barrel" loop.
However, unlike a conventional aileron, or
snap, roll, Johnston maintained positive
gravity through the maneuver.) Even Boeing
President William Allen is taken by surprise
as he escorts potential customers who are
seeing the jet for the first time.
Flying at more than 400 miles per hour just
400 feet above the water, Johnston commenced
a sudden ascent. The jet's swept-back wings
spiraled as the 128-foot-long, 160,000 pound
plane rolled, flying for a short time upside
down. Then, for extra measure, Johnston
performed a second barrel-roll. Boeing
President Allen asked a guest with a heart
problem if he could borrow his pills. The
potential jet buyers were duly impressed.
By the time Johnston broke the
transcontinental speed record in 1957 by
flying from Seattle to Baltimore in three
hours, 48 minutes, orders for the new 707
were pouring in.

| Kevin Chalfant Mega Force 707 Megaforce |

Kevin's Mega Smash Single from the album he
did with 707 back in 82'
Kevin often gets pigeon-holed as a Steve
Perry Soundalike but the comparisons aren't
all that far off base either. 707 was getting
a lead singer who could rock out and had big
pipes who could go for the moon and Kevin's
not a bad lookin' guy either. Some say 707
was getting a lead singer at their label's
request much like Journey did in 77'. All
theories aside, this album was a corker! Love
it. I'll be putting up a sampler of the album
later for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
Also, i borrowed these lyrics so if you think
they are a little off, let me know and i'll
consider changing them if they are correct!
Thanks and Enjoy! - James
