Sort of suprised that this hasn't been stickied on the new releases thread? Mods must be asleep at the wheel.

But I wanted to share my experience with the CS 707-300. First, allow me to say that this is my first airliner. I always buy warbirds or military aircraft. I had been looking at this aircraft for a while, waiting for it to fall into my price range. So the other day, I bought it.
So far it has been tied for the best aircraft I have purchased. It flies great, seems to fly like the real one, it can be super sluggish with alot of weight, but is also very stable, and easy to fly.It looks great on both the outside and inside, and after watching some in cockpit video, the vc looks to be spot on. The passengers cabin is also great. In my opinion, this addon has a good mix of modern and classic, and is very enjoyable to fly.
Are there any repainters out there who have made colorful repaints for this aircraft? I really like the Ecuadoriana (Equatoriana?) livery and would like to add more liveries like that to my inventory.
