Missing Turbo compressor

[aladdict]

Gentleman

A slight correction is needed on your TWA aircraft. TWA had three turbo compressors on all their aircraft except for the 720B. I noticed you got it right on the (331B) 320B and the (331C) 320C. Are you planning to upgrade the (131B) 120B aircraft model with an additional turbo compressor on #4 engine??

Sincerely yours
Ron

No, I think he's suggesting that the 707-131B had 3 turbocompressors, while all 707-120B aircraft available at HJG have 2 turbocompressors on their visual models.

Yes, there's a photo of one on airliners.net coming to Kai Tak (Hong Kong):

...the photographer also wonders how it did a transpacific flight with no HF.

The photo was taken in 1972, I suppose they could have had INS by then.

And you can see the turbocompressor on engine #4.

Jim

In reference to the missing turbo compressor, I was referring to the visual 120B model
Believe me, TWA had one on #4 engine............ I've changed enough of them.
