FS2004 MEA Boeing 707 OD-AHC

Step back into the late 1990s and experience a faithful recreation of Middle East Airlines’ Boeing 707 (registration OD-AHC) rendered in vivid detail. Developed by the talented creator Mo Dezfouli, this repaint is designed exclusively for the Captain Sim B707 payware model, which needs to be acquired separately from a vendor like SimShack. Enthusiasts of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 will appreciate every rivet and panel line that reflects the historic charm of this long-range airliner.

A Notable Lebanese Airline Icon

The MEA Boeing 707 once formed a vital part of Middle East Airlines' fleet. During the mid-20th century, these four-engine jets offered extended routes connecting Beirut to prominent international destinations. With registration OD-AHC, the aircraft symbolized reliable service across diverse geographic regions. This specialized repaint meticulously captures that legacy with a nuanced color scheme that reflects MEA’s style at the time.
