As I said some where above...

This plane that CS has modeled is a much later 707 than I flew. The engine bleed thing was accepted by the time the 727 was born. So I am just guessing that this plane had both turbos and bleeds...cool!

Each airline had different custom stuff back then which ended with the 767/757. Our flight director was completely different and we had a slow fast pointer (sorta like an angle of attack indicator) which was a very nice thing to have to check on the real lift the plane was able to make.

We also had different start switches which worked just like the 727. The Freon packs were a nice advantage on the ground since the 707 did not have an APU so getting cooling on the ground required a large huffer to provide enough air to run the packs. The Freon packs would cool very nicely by just using recirculated air.  

The 707 was one of the nicest flying planes I flew. The 757 was an amazing plane to fly. Full loads, short fields, no problem!

I did get to sit once in the Concorde cockpit. I was amazed how small it was. That was one cool plane for it's time indeed.
