Pan am SST postcard here with a livery slightly different than the revel one http://www.everythingpanam.com/Postcards.html

I have been looking for two documents which I thought were here.
List of optionholders with delivery positions of their aircraft. I think it came from Flight International.
1969 Boeing Report on the 2707-300 which used to be linked here.
In addition the Youtube 1967 Boeing SST promo video shows briefly side views of some airline liveries I will try.and screen capture.
 
My phone caught this still from the Boeing SST film. Nice livery artwork

Glad to have another variant being re released, I hope they'll do other liveries than just the boeing one.
PS: Sorry I've been absent for so long.

As with the forthcoming Moebius 1/72 and 1/350 Orion III Space Clippers from "2001" which will come *without* Pan Am decals, often it's the decals that are the hardest thing to get nailed down, legally. Recall the story of the Pegasus 1/18 Bell X-1 that they had to go through all the decal sheets and scissor-out the "Glamorous Glennis" because Mrs. Yeager raised a legal stink over copyright.

Doubtless small decal companies, one guy with an ALPS printer, will meet the demand. Me, I'd probably build the SST in NASA or USAF colors.
 
Over a number of years a nice firm in the Philippines has made me these 9" desk models designed to imitate the larger Pacmin models given to airlines by Boeing in the 1960s.
This allowed me to use liveries that could never have appeared on a Boeing SST had it entered service as planned in the 1970s. TWA for example no longer used the iconic double globe by then.

I remember having this kit with the United markings when I was in high school. There are times I wish I'd saved it and the Braniff Concorde by MPC (rebadged Airfix kit) that I found in what was called a department store on the Yorktown waterfront about the same time.
 
Anyone know where did revell got their pan am livery? When I look for the pan livery on google, there's often slight variation, such as no "pan am" on the wing or the american flag being placed somewhare else.

Thanks for your answers, I got the revell box in my stash, waiting for atlantis reedition (and next weekend, will try to get a BOAC concorde by airfix).

A lot has been said about this and the family apparently continue the tradition of demanding payment for use of those representations and facsimile's which basically does my mind a mischief.

The aircraft flown were the property of the USAAC, NASA etc and as far as I know, never owned by that pilot. So called 'copyright' is claimed rather than granted as far as I know and I have yet to see anything that guarantee's ownership of the scheme to anyone. Moneygrabbing will never go away and it seems the one who screams loudest and longest gets their way. Rather a sad indictment of the hum,an race and the species is not far behind.
 
So I have a question, assuming the 2700 (or even really the l-2000) had been biult and flown, how much more range would be added if the passenger count was reduced to 150 instead of 300?

The easy answer would be to look at the range vs. payload for each aircraft, and subtract roughly 25,000 pounds from max payload. Some of these designs were payload limited on some flights. For example, look through this thread, and you'll find that North American figured that United would not be able to fly a full passenger load on the Chicago to Honolulu flight. That would be because full fuel load would be necessary and there's a trade off between fuel and payload at that point.

Unfortunately I can't really find a convenient range vs pay load graph for the 2700 let alone the l-2000, so this isn't really helping. Has anyone upload a chart about this?
 
I think Boeing published the planned delivery positions for the 2707 in about 1968. Flight International reported it. But their archive is no longer available

The delivery timetable is very precise for an aircraft that had such a troubled history.

AUGUST 97 World airways 98 United 99 Continental 100 United 101 Alitalia.

SEPTEMBER 102 Eastern 103 United 104 World 105 United 106 Continental.

DECEMBER 118 Eastern 119 Northwest 120 Air Canada 121 KLM 122 not listed 123 Air Canada.

JANUARY 124 not listed 125 TWA 126 Eastern 127 Northwest 128 KLM

FEBRUARY 129 130 131 not listed 132 Eastern 133 not listed 134 KLM.


These aircraft would not have had the vivid coloured schemes of 1960s airlines but even so the lineup at Boeing would have been interesting.

of course we knew and displayed it before from Flying magazine,but the
new thing is that,Douglas considered a military mission for this aircraft ?!.

Nice document from Boeing's here:
http://www.emotionreports.com/downloads/pdfs/boeing.pdf

There is surprisingly few on the -300 technically-side. Also of interest is the neat 3-views detailing the "public" evolution (no hint to the 1968 studies that led to the delta configuration), where you can find the rarely seen early-VG 2707 canard configuration.

Shea Oakley posted these images on Facebook of Pacific Miniatures twin set models of the Boeing 2707-100 in BOAC colours. They live in the British Airways collection in London.
I saw them back in the 90s at the BA Museum but had no camera.
They are identical to the Revell 1/1200 twin set but made of resin or wood rather than moulded plastic.

New member here...

I've been reading through this series of posts, as I'm working on a presentation on the history of supersonic transports, to be made to the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society.

I'm looking for images of the Boeing SST (or Concorde) as they would have appeared in Air Canada colours. Air Canada promotional material would be ideal, if there ever was such a thing.

If anyone has anything along these lines, and could share it here, that would be marvellous.

Apropos of the 1969 Pan Am ads, last year when I passed through Ohare Airport in Chicago USA I saw ads for one of the big legacy airlines introducing a supersonic airliner into service in 2026. Sorry I can't recall more.

This article has what you need.

Air Canada had a big display model of the 2707 which a chap found some years back.
