From the iconic Boeing 707-323B N8436 of American Airlines to the revolutionary de Havilland Comet 4, they have always pushed boundaries in aviation. Take a step back in time and marvel at the Sikorsky S-55, N424A, of Mohawk Airlines or witness the elegance of the Douglas DC-7B soaring through the skies. The Avro York and Lockheed 14 Electra stand as testaments to a golden era of travel. Remember when St Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line's Benoist XIV/14 Biplan paved the way for commercial air travel? And who can forget Short C-Class flying boats like VH-ABD of Qantas or G-AEUF at Marseilles in 1939? Experience luxury with Viscount of BEA or embrace innovation with Bristol Britannia. Relive history with de Havilland Comet 1, an aircraft that changed everything. They have shaped our world and continue to connect us all.
