EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a team of skilled workmen diligently begins the arduous process of dismantling a Boeing SST 12/20 mock-up. This colossal model, which measures an impressive 288 feet in length, once served as a vital tool in the development of the billion-dollar Boeing SST project. The project, which aimed to revolutionize air travel with its supersonic speed, ultimately failed to materialize due to financial constraints. The mock-up, now a relic of aviation history, was recently acquired by Marks Morrison, a tenacious Nebraska junk dealer, for the substantial sum of $31,000 at auction. Morrison, with a vision to showcase this awe-inspiring piece of aviation history, plans to display the dismantled model in a museum near Disneyworld. The intricate details of the model are evident in the photograph, with each component meticulously labeled and carefully disassembled by the workmen. The Boeing SST 12/20 mock-up represents a significant piece of aviation history, a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of those who dared to push the boundaries of air travel. The dismantling process is a laborious one, requiring precision, expertise, and a deep appreciation for the intricacies of aviation engineering. The workmen, dressed in protective gear and armed with specialized tools, work methodically, disassembling the model piece by piece. The photograph captures the essence of the endeavor, the blend of history, engineering, and human effort that brought this remarkable model to life and now, to its new home in a museum. The Boeing SST 12/20 mock-up serves as a reminder of the past, a bridge to the present, and a beacon to the future of aviation. The photograph, with its intriguing story and captivating imagery, invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future of this remarkable industry.
