[edit] Third jet airliner

In the front article, it said that this Tu-104 aeroplane is the third jet civil airplane to fly. This an error, the Sud Aviation Caravelle has precedence by a month.

Sud Aviation Caravelle Maiden flight : 27 May 1955

Therefore, I will correct the entry on the front page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.61.255.84 (talk) 15:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

You made a couple of mistakes: One, you didn't add the Caravelle in as the third one to fly in the sentence, so it was inaccurate. Second, the Caravelle entered service in 1958, while the Tu-104 entered service in 1956, yet you changed the Tu-104 from second to third. Please be careful when making changes to make sure that what you change is correct. - BillCJ (talk) 15:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Interflug didn´t use the Tu-104 the where working on their own design Baade-152. Rest of the facts I added comes from the red star book #35. RGDS Alexmcfire —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmcfire (talk • contribs) 03:15, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
