'Name The Plane' - ID MAKE And MODEL For Free Bacon! (6.19.12)

GAME OVER - correctly ID'd by 'Tim' as the Boeing 2707 SST cockpit

 

 It only took about 12 minutes to find a winning answer, and it came from 'Tim' on his second try after providing a little more detail. This cockpit is the Boeing 2707 SST, or technically the 2707-300. It's from the prototype mockup of the forward fuselage section that's on display at the Hiller Museum south of San Francisco California.

 There's so much story to share about the Boeing effort to build a large and extremely fast SST in the late 1960's. One day I'll get around to putting together an extensive post about it... til then, check out the Boeing 2707 wiki entry and the Hiller Museum page on the Boeing 2707. And thanx to everyone who played this time around (even tho it was a really short game : )

GAME OVER - correctly ID'd by 'Tim' as the Boeing 2707 SST cockpit


 I never know when I'll feel the urge to throw up a little Name The Plane action here on AirPigz... usually it happens on a Saturday night, but here we are on a Tuesday night with a special 'cockpit' edition for you to check out. Best of all, the winner snags a bacon sandwhich at OSH12!

 All you gotta do is ID both MAKE and MODEL to win - so if you've got sharp aircraft ID skills, be the first person to ID both MAKE and MODEL of this aircraft to be the winner!

 Your answers must go in the 'comments' area in this post, and as always, please don't use the shotgun approach to answers - only put up truly educated guesses that you've arrived at via really thinking it thru.

 And I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but to win, you have to give me both the MAKE and MODEL! : )
