HD Pan Am Boeing 307 Stratoliner Udvar Hazy National Air Space Museum Washington Dulles

In this video you will see the Boeing 707, Pan Am Boeing 307 Stratoliner, Air France Concorde and other aircraft on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport. The is another one of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner was the first commercial transport aircraft with a pressurized cabin. This feature allowed the plane to cruise at an altitude of 20,000 ft (6,000 m), well above weather disturbances. The pressure differential was 2.5 psi (17 kPa), so at 14,700 ft (4,480 m) the cabin altitude was 8,000 ft (2,440 m). The Model 307 had capacity for a crew of five and 33 passengers. The cabin was nearly 12 ft (3.6 m) across. It was the first land-based aircraft to include a flight engineer as a crew member (several flying boats had included a flight engineer position earlier).

I saw the Concorde fly in here once in guam. It was really cool they did fly over the island and then they landed, were here about 6 hrs, refueled and then went one. It was incredible.
