Darned if I can figure out where else this should go, so here I go posting it where I figured people will at least know where it goes... if it's not the right place... anyhow...

My question is this. What is the difference between the Boeing 720 and the 707? They look identical as best I can tell...

Hi Dukes, hope this helps:

The 707 was designated the 720 when it was modified for short-to-medium routes and for use on shorter runways. Engineers reduced the fuselage length by 9 feet, changed the leading-edge flaps and later installed turbofan engines. Boeing built 154 720s between 1959 and 1967 (http://www.boeing.com/history/boeing/707.html)
