===========================================================================



This model depicts N7531A one of the batch of ten new Boeing 720-023 

aircraft delivered to American Airlines during 1960. Boeing designed 

the 720 (aka. 707-020) as a lightweight short-haul airliner to operate

from smaller runways that could not be serviced by the heavier 707-123.



The 720s were initially fitted with Pratt & Whitney JT3C-7 turbojets

without water injection. The later 720B models were supplied with the more

efficient JT3D-1 turbofan engines, and all the original 720s were upgraded

to this standard. N7531A is shown in the original configuration.

available in the FS51 version).
