707 ARIA Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft included
Some background on the ARIA version from Bob Guere who served aboard one of the ARIA versions:
The cruise speeds were affected, and the jet generally had a higher nose-up attitude while in flight. However, the weight of the jet was more a problem than anything. It was chock full of electronic gear from front to back.It took a LOT of runway to get airborne when we were loaded down with fuel for a long 8 hour flight. The EC-18 version that we are talking about here eventually was modified with inflight refueling capability, but we only used that occasionally to get somewhere in one day rather than two. Rarely did we use it for mission support. We cruised at 420 knots for mission support generally, and usually around 30K ft. But I know we've topped that speed on transient legs. the port wing was painted flat black to lower the glare when we were performing optics missions. We had hi-speed cameras pointed out that side to film the re-entry of ballistic missile re-entry vehicles.

Michael:
Thanks for the note. I agree, the recent global scenery update was outstanding. I can't imagine how much work that must have taken them. I also thought you did a good job on the B707 manual. I'll bet it will be a while before you undertake another project like that. I'm surprised you didn't wear out your scanner. I kind of run hot and cold with x-plane. I will spend hours for days at a time flying different airplanes and exploring different places, then I'll go weeks without ever touching it. I've been playing with it lately and I honestly think your B707 is the best simulation of the actual airplane I have found. It is also the most enjoyable airplane to fly of anything I have found.
