===========================================================================



This model depicts Pan American N782PA "Flying Cloud" a Boeing 720-023B

(previously N7551A of American Airlines). The majority of the PanAm fleet 

consisted of 707-320s and -120s. While PanAm does not appear on the Boeing 

delivery lists for 720s, three 720-023Bs were acquired from American in 1963 

and a further six from Lufthansa in 1964-66.



Originally designated 707-020 the final 720 designation is an exception to 

Boeing's 7x7 jet model numbering. The reduced weight of the 720 in comparison 

to the 707-120 along with numerous improvements provided excellent airfield 

performance, though the three engine 727 was soon to dominate this market 

segment.
