Boeing Model 367-80 In Flight
The Boeing Company had invested $16 million (two-thirds of the company’s net profits from the post-war years) to build this prototype for a long-range jet aircraft. It was developed in secrecy and designated Model 367-80 to disguise it as merely an improved version of the C-97 Stratofreighter. It was subsequently nicknamed the “Dash 80,” had jet engines and swept wings, and was very different from the straight-wing, propeller-powered Stratofreighter. When the Dash 80 was almost finished, the company gambled again — by tooling and gearing up for a production aircraft, although neither the Air Force, nor any airline, had placed a single order.
At the August 7, 1955 Gold Cup hydroplane races at Seattle's Lake Washington on Boeing test pilot Tex Johnston took the big plane through two barrel rolls, thrilling the crowd and airline executives as well.
