No glass cockpit here! Too bad she can't fly...

Sehr Cool 👌👌👌👌 Good Luck 😄

We know who you get your good-looks from - your mother!🌹

Ack in the day when flying was fun for passengers ❤

Cool that it still operates! Good work!

Amazing project; I salute you.

Merci les gars ! J'ai apprécié votre check list 👍👍😄 super sympa !

how beautiful you are!

My first flight ever was with Sterling Caravelle in 1967 Stockholm-Palma for a 14 days chartertrip

the DC-9 that came a little later was much more efficient and advanced. Turbofan engines, figure 8 fuselage instead of circular, giving very much more luggage and cargo space, less noisy.

I was expecting them to take off in it, not too operational after all.

Your dedication and work is simply fantastic!

That's amazing you have figured out how to adapt those old gauges to modern technology. Looking forward to the finished product.

Ack, så smäckert plan!

You are a hero, sir!

Fantastic machine !

what a beautiful aircraft. We flew on Lufthansa 707's in the 60's and into the 70's on a regular basis via the polar route, Tokyo, Anchorage, Frankfurt and back. I have many wonderful memories on the 707 with Lufthansa. Maybe we even flew on D-ABOD. We lived in Japan from 1960 until 1974.

I had flown so many times on this aircraft as a child when I was around 9 to 14. Those triangular shaped windows and boarding the aircraft from the rear end.

Genius..

Lovely to see her still alive. Does the aircraft still fly ?

Only flew on one once in the mid 60’s. Alitalia Heathrow to Naples. Loved it. 👍👍👍🫡🙏🇦🇺🦘

Now - if you were to give it a new paint coat, you couldn’t tell the age - could you

Really, really interesting and well done 👍🏻

Sir!! You are a genius !! God bless you!! I wish you were located in the United States! I will come visit you and the simulator when you are done! A 707 fanatic Marty Covais

...such a legendary plane

Awesome!! When you are done with the restoration, where can we see it??

I was in the jumpseat on a Royal Air Maroc Caravelle for the takeoff. I could not hear the engines. Very slippery aeroplane with a very good glide ratio should you lose both engines.

esse parece que já foi da VARIG .

1/12/2024: Good Day. I love this. Video and sound are excellent. I've always loved these aircraft. I was born in 1952 and I've been flying all my life. I do miss the "Good Old Days" of flying. Prop planes, turboprop planes and of course, all the jets. Flying used to be a wonderful experience, in every way. No longer... My father worked for the airlines all my life, until he retired, that is. There's a Caravelle at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson Arizona. I was a member there when I lived in Airzona. Beautiful airplane. Thank You and Happy New Year

It's cool because I love those stylish triangular passenger windows...(yes I know it was all about the reaction to the DeHavilland Comet and her square windows destroying the plane, essentially). In my mind I see the stewardesses of my childhood, with their pillbox hats and narrow kneelength skirts and stiletto pointy toed heels....

This is truly fantastic work. The Caravelle 3 specifically has been my favorite aircraft of all time. I am curious if you are ever thinking of making a Caravelle in the sim rather than the physical cockpit sim version? I have been wanting a Caravelle 3 sim for such a long time, but it seems anyone who has begun making one stop halfway through. I started making a 3d model of a Caravelle 3 not too long ago, but I know not much about Xplane 11's plane maker and such. Regardless fantastic work you have done, those Avon's sound truly beautiful one of the best sounding jet engines in my opinion.

Well done! I flew the Caravelle at UAL back in the 60's. This brought back some fond memories. Thanks!

Great to see you are still active and pushing on with a new project👍 Greetings from the guy who did some air to air animations of your Caravelle🤗

Outstanding job! Can you elaborate on your father’s experience with the World War II pilots? i’m just curious as to why it was a not so great experience. Thanks! Chris

Is it me,or is the nose and windshield identical to the Comets?

So sad two RR 707s were destroyed in Germany at almost the same time

C'etait un super avion de Sud Aviation devenu Airbus....

Chapeau, a fantastic work all on your own. What a project, I am stunned. Thank you for this very interesting video.

Das is Gutten Gur scmach! ..I hope my German is not that bad. 🙂

1:04. It is not a 'myth'. The two designs started exactly the same, but the Caravelle evolved independently from the Comet during the development of the aeroplane. For the same reason the 737 windows are not the same as the 707, but started the same. As did the 727. Also, the control wheel follows the deHavilland design in shape, also with offset column, and was maintained.

Nice work you are doing, i had a privileged in my life to fly B-707 during 10 years, and the last flight on 707 was one ex LUFTHANSA/GERMAN CARGO 707/330C SN 19317/557 D-ABUI than later sold to TRANSBRASIL as PT-TCM

Noble avion...se cayó en tierra, mientras rodaba para ir a cabecera para DESPEGAR...sucedió en BARQUISIMETO

Браво ! Молодцы . Так сохранили самолет.

I grew up seeing the 707s flying & love the sound of the P&W engines & they leave a trail of smoke which i called them the smoking guns.

My second favorite plane. God she is pretty. Not as pretty as Connie but none are

Superbly impressive technical work. Love your belief in preservation of patina wherever possible. Wish you the very best of 707 outcomes and loads of enjoyment too.

Superb non-sterile adventure :-)

So interesting, industrious, inspiring, worthwhile, historically and technically impressive... Thank you, a joy to watch :-)

What a great aerodynamic nose this old beauty has... kind of similar to a modern B787 and aerodynamically superior to the younger, awkward and angular B737 which needs vortex generators all over it to correct it..

I noticed "LSI" printed on the autopilot turn knob. Was the autopilot built by Lear Siegler Inc.?
