FSX Braniff Dark Blue Jellybean Boeing 707

This freeware repaint offers a meticulously recreated Braniff International Dark Blue Jellybean livery (registration N7078) designed for the payware Captain Sim B707-300 package. Created by Marc Brown, it depicts the airline’s distinctive 1968-era color scheme and delivers a detailed external finish for Microsoft Flight Simulator X enthusiasts eager to enhance their historic jetliner collection.

Period-Specific Livery Details

In the late 1960s, Braniff International introduced its “Jellybean” series of liveries, which featured bold, vibrant hues across its fleet. This particular dark blue variation underscores the airline’s unique branding approach of the time. The Boeing 707 itself also revolutionized air travel, offering transcontinental and transatlantic routes with improved speed and passenger capacity. By combining Braniff’s flashy style with the iconic 707 airframe, this repaint highlights a pivotal moment in mid-century commercial aviation.
