The base pack covers the 707-300, -300B and -300B Advanced models. This version for FSX is available from the Captain Sim webshop ( or simMarket. Note though, that the USAF’s C-135 and KC-135 were not converted 707’s, but rather new aircraft developed in parallel with the 707 from the Model 367-80.
707 derivatives served as in-flight-refueling aircraft, AWACS aircraft, mobile command and control centers, military transport planes and VIP transport aircraft. The 707 has also been very popular as a base for military aircraft. Several versions of the 707 have been built, incorporation different fuselage lengths, newer engines, and improved wings and high lift devices. The ‘Dash 80’ first flew in July 1954, the first 707 production aircraft in December 1957, followed by the first commercial flight in October 1958. Because of customer demands and competition for Douglas, Boeing redesigned the 707 several times, resulting in an aircraft that, although similar looking, was quite different from the ‘Dash 80’. The Proof of Concept aircraft for both the 707 and the KC-135 was the Boeing model 367-80, commonly known as the ‘Dash 80’. Let’s take it for a flight, and see what it’s made of!
Captain Sim released their ‘707 Captain’ earlier this year, finally brining a detailed version of this icon of aviation to FSX. As far as aircraft go, it doesn’t get much more iconic than the good old Boeing 707.
