My 1000th post! TWA 2707 SST -thru time...
Had the Boeing 2707 SST made it to reality, TWA surely would have flown these birds. The flagship of any "future" fleet, the 2707-200 would have been a welcome visitor to the JFK Flight Center...
 The Raymond Loewy "Starstream" or "twin-globe" design would have been the delivery colors. A WONDERFUL livery, it epitomised the age. a bold arrow swash across the fuselage and a silver belly following it up to the nose...  The "Twin-Stripe" scheme of the late 70's-90's... I feel this scheme really works on this airframe. Looking even faster than the previous one, the simplicity makes the sinew of the fuselage standout.  And finally the new colors, last used by TWA. To me these colors work better on this plane than anything that actually flew with them. These little exercises in history are fun... any comments? I guess this proves how "insane" a collector I really am...

Nice drawing, I don't know, the Concorde and TU-144 still look better.

The General's going to push the crap off of this forum and revisit the GOOD stuff!
This is the kind of work the General's got framed and hanging in his office at the SAC bunker (at an undisclosed location in the Midwest which is NOT Offutt AFB you commie ******s)...not even Boeing's marketing department came up with art of this caliber.
Maybe if they did, they might have made a better case for this juiceburner of a rocketship.
