Love the shots of the WESTERN livery in this classic 720B variant. HJG textures always look eye-catching with great details...!

Also, noted the "extra" smoke...those were the days...!

P7878,

Thanks for your kind words and you are right about 720B model and HJG repaint!!!   Excellent identification that you have!

Regards,

Aharon

Aharon:...Credit really goes to you...🙂....You have such excellent full-fuselage images with "720B" written so prominently near the tail...!

Of course, it's worth noting that the JT3D (Turbofan) engines on the 720B were significantly more efficient than the JT3C (Turbojet) engines on the original 720....(the only outliers to not follow the 7x7 naming convention...nonetheless, very interesting variants of 707...thanks for posting...!)

[Aharon 606]

Once again, Thanks for your kind words  :)

I was on one of those WAL 720's one night enroute to HNL, ex SFO, and we lost an engine on take off. Diverted to LAX for a different ac. 

Memory's galore here, Aharon! Great pic's!

@Clutch Cargo,

Impressive!!!  Nice to meet you!!!  I think I have from your scenery company freeware KABQ Albuquerque airport scenery that I have not yet installed in my pc probably because I am too afraid.  LOL

Will have to install it sometime and maybe make nice screenshots!

Regards,

Aharon

[Aharon 606]
