Make it a specific variant of the 707. The 707-320B #7

Issue At the present moment we have 707 as model and aircraft name in FG, not following any specific real life variant. And engines are changed according to the selected livery. Furthermore, the current 707 models do not realistically reflect any real life variant of the 707.

Suggested Solution So I suggest we select the -320B variation and work on it, making it reflect the real life -320B as best as possible with real cargo, fuel and PAX numbers as well as engine model and specs. In addition to day, I suggest we then use 707-320B as model name in FG and show only liveries for companies that flew the selected model.

Why the 320B Because it is reasonably well documented and it's the variant with the longest range, and we love long range.

Suggested 707-320B Specs Engine JT3D-7 with 84.4kN of thrust. Max range 5000 NMI Max passengers 219 Empty weight 66,406kg Max takeoff weight 151,315kg Wing span 44.42m Length 46.61m Height 12.93m Wing area 283m2 Fuel capacity 90.29m³
