Heh. Reminds me of the aft secondary hull of the (fugly IMHO) USS Enterprise of the movie reboots: QMx Unveils 2009 Star Trek Movie Enterprise Replica – Yours For $5k – TrekMovie.com
I thought this might be the right place for this trivia question.
I have travelled on three Boeing vehicles whose name did not end with ‘7’. What were they?
Dash-80, 720, Stearman?
720 is correct. A 720B in 1972; probably the earliest airplane flight I remember taking.
Would love to fly in a Stearman if I ever get the chance.
Led Zeppelin used a 720 for touring.
Hmm. Military? if so, that opens up a heap of aircraft made by companies acquired by Boeing such as the F-15 and F/A-18.
It’s not a company acquired by Boeing in the intervening years. The ones I’m thinking of were Boeing-made at the time of their production.
747SP? Or does that still count as a 747?
P.S. I have had a flight in a Boeing-built Stearman. Pretty fun, that.
Should we care that you said Boeing “vehicles” and not aircraft?
No. I’ve never even seen one of those.
Maybe.
Boeing 234 ?
B-24/25/29? KC135? Guessing not a 314 clipper.

I did. I just didn’t think of them. I had a model of this Boeing when I was a kid:
