Boeing C-18A "The Beast" History:

The Boeing 707 is a four-engine commercial passenger jet airliner developed in the early 1950s. The 707 dominated passenger air transport in the 1960s and remained common through the 1970s. Although it was not the first commercial jet in service, it was the first to be commercially successful, and is credited for ushering in the jet age. The 707 established Boeing as one of the largest makers of passenger aircraft. It was based on the 367-80 and though built for civilian use, many planes found their way to military service. The first flight of the first production 707-120 was on December 20, 1957, and Federal Aviation Administration certification followed on September 18, 1958.

The first commercial orders for the 707 came in 1955, when Pan American World Airways took 20 707s and 25 Douglas DC-8s. The rivalry between the 707 and DC-8 was fierce. Several major airlines committed only to the DC-8, as Douglas Aircraft was a more established maker of passenger aircraft at that time. To keep up with the competition, Boeing made a late and costly decision to redesign and enlarge the 707's wing to help increase range and payload. The new version was designated 707-320. The 707 quickly became the most popular jetliner of its time. Its popularity led to rapid developments in airport terminals, airline catering, runways, reservations systems, baggage handling and other air transport infrastructure. The advent of the 707 also led to the upgrading of air traffic control systems to prevent interference with military jet operations.

The ultimate 707 variant was the 707-320C, C for "Convertible", which had a convertible passenger/freight configuration. This version was fitted with a large fuselage door and a strengthened floor for cargo applications. The wing was significantly revised and the ventral fin was removed. The 707-320C ultimately became the most widely produced variant of the 707. A total of 335 planes were built, some of which were used by the United States military under the designation C-18. The C-18 was modified accordingly to suit the needs of the military, and has served various roles such as Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft, Cruise Missile Mission Control Aircraft and trainer aircraft.
