Apologies if someone else has already posted this, I tried searching for it but difficult to know what to search for!

Amid all the 787 roll-out hoopla, perhaps the coolest event went unnoticed. On Saturday night, Boeing had all of the 787 airline representatives at an event at the Museum of Flight. At 7:07 PM, an Omega Air Refueling Services 707 landed in front of the crowd (after taking off from Paine Field in Everrett). At 7:17, an AirTran 717 landed. This continued until 8:17 when an Air France 777-300ER landed. In the end, the 717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 were lined up nose-to-tail on the taxiway. It is the first time Boeing has had every 7-series airplane in the same place (not counting the 787, which couldn't make the flight, of course). - Picture provided by The Boeing Company

Ha! Nice! Except the now-717 used to be the McDonnell Douglas MD-82... and the REAL 717 was the C-135 Stratolifter/Stratotanker! :mad:
Also, a complete 7*7 line ought to have added the 787 at the end... :'(
And for the sake of completeness, they could have tossed in a Boeing 720 (early, shorter version of the 707) and a Boeing 739 (RC-135) maybe? ::)
 
What's that SST-looking thing there in the parking lot to the right rear? ??? Looks too small to be a Concorde.
 
It is Concorde, I "kicked its tires" right there not long ago.
Next to it is a presidential 707 IIRC, and the first 747 prototype.

It also shows graphically what an epic achievement the Boeing 747 was 40 years ago, and still is today.

British Airways' Concorde, it is barely visible the pennant colors on the tail....
