  FlightSim.Com Review: Just Flight 707 Professional
Why '707' was chosen is anybody's guess, although the company had used numbers in the 500 range for gas turbines and the 600 range for missiles, so it must have seemed natural enough to use the 700 series for aircraft, thereby inaugurating a system they have stuck to ever since.
That being said, the 707 being a relatively simple airplane, the SO panels aren't so complicated that they will discourage the average user; but having played around with the sim, I reckon they are a key part of the enjoyment to be found in working it.
Armed with a copy of ActiveCamera, it should be possible to set up enough views to be able to operate the 707 almost entirely in VC mode, although that would be to miss the glories of the 2D panels, which, at the risk of repeating myself, are among the best in the business.

Boeing lost the contract to Lockheed's C-5 Galaxy but came under pressure from its most loyal airline customer, Pan Am, to develop a giant passenger plane that would be over twice the size of the 707.
Boeing announced a new 747 model, the 747-8 (referred to as the 747 Advanced prior to launch) on November 14, 2005, which will use same engine and cockpit technology as the 787 (It was decided to call it the 747-8 because of the technology it will share with the 787 Dreamliner).
Boeing was keen to discourage the media and the public from using the term "jumbo jet" for the 747, but their efforts were in vain and now the term is synonymous with the 747.

The Boeing 707 (most commonly spoken as "Seven Oh Seven") was a four engined commercial passenger jet airliner developed by Boeing in the early 1950s.
Boeing already had considerable experience with this on the B-47 and B-52, and had developed the yaw damper system on the B-47, that lent itself to later swept wing configurations like the 707.
Traces of the 707 are still found in the 737, which uses a modified version of the 707's fuselage, as well as essentially the same external nose and cockpit configuration as the 707.
