The "official" blog-site regarding the tragic dynamiting and destruction of a Boeing 707 jetliner operating as Continental Airlines Flight 11 in 1962. The destruction of the aeroplane, en route from Chicago to Los Angeles via Kansas City, resulted in the death of all 45 passengers and crew. Finally, after 48 years a memorial was established thanks to the help of this blog, a local historian in Unionville and the assistance of many individuals.

Boeing 707
In March I was fortunate to be able to finally step onto a Boeing 707 . I did this at the Reagan Library just outside of Los Angeles . Here, Reagan's Air Force One sits on display and you can walk through it . This particular Air Force One was used from the time of President Nixon in 1972 through to 2001 when it was retired by then President George W. Bush. I was astounded by the sheer size and solid build of the aircraft which I hadn't seen in person before. It truly was an amazing sight . I would like to thank Kathryn Hamilton a million times for taking me to the museum .
