I had the 707 for fs9 and thought it was a great plane but was a bit disappointed that the QANTAS aircraft was too long.

QANTAS 707's were specially built short bodied models and it would be great if Captain Sim would make this variant.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the QANTAS 707's.

"The 707-138 was based on the -120 but had a 10 ft (3.05 m) reduction to the rear fuselage and were capable of increased range. It was a variant for Qantas and included Boeing customer number of 38 for Qantas. A total of 13 -138s were built."


Apologies for quoting myself but here is a bit more info about the 707-138.

John Travolta's 707 is a 138B (registered N707JT) and is the last 138 still in active service.

VH-EBA (a 707-138) was the first Boeing jet sold outside the US. It was delivered to Qantas in 1959 and eventually ended up in the UK after passing through many owners where the Qantas Founders Museum bought it . After a restoration it was flown back to Australia (using VH-XBA rego) and now sits at Longreach airport in the Australian outback alongside a 747.

PS I've made some FSX scenery of Longreach airport which includes the 707 and 747 (available from the aussiex website).
