In 1950, the Boeing company began studying a four-engine aircraft for both civilian and military purposes. On May 14, 1954, the Boeing plant in Renton produced the 367-80, which made its first flight on July 15. This prototype will be used for the joint development of the KC-135 refueling aircraft and the famous Boeing 707 civil aircraft. On October 15, Pan American ordered its first six aircraft - the Boeing 707-121. The Boeing 707 was subsequently developed in parallel with various military versions of the C 135 and 137 to give rise to the 200 series and then the 300 series, which are very different from each other. The Boeing 707, consisting of almost 1,000 units, represents the origins of modern air transport. Strong and reliable, this aircraft was very popular with both crews and passengers. They were usually designed for 134 passengers in two classes. Air France's Boeing 707s were named after castles. "Château de Vincennes" was the second of 29 ordered by the French national airline.
