What year was this filmed?

I was at McClellan yesterday Aug 2 2024. What a coincidence that I found this a day later.

nice plane

Amazing!

I’ve got over 100 hrs in multiple CTLS’s and I truly say that they are phenomenal aircraft for what they can do. I’ve been flying everything from gyro’s, helicopters, single, twin and amphibious aircraft over 54 yrs. Now with a left leg that cannot bend due to multiple surgical procedures, it’s the only AC that I can get in and out of easily. They are comfortable even on long XC’s and efficient. I even flew one on floats, but it was a pig due to the inefficient hp until we installed the big bore kit which adds 15 more hp. The full Dynon package works excellent and gives you everything you need. Enjoy, fly safe, smile and take it all in.

727 best jet ever

Beautifully clean, well-maintained machine. I plumbed briefly on one of UPS’s converted -100s before moving to the DC-8. The best of the old school!

Fun fact: This 777-300 formerly operated by Emirates until 2017

Don’t work for yrs to have $1M in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting $1k in foreign exchange market for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this and participate will be successful in life ❤❤️.

I’m jealous! Good flying

Video capturing is very bad

Back in the day, Seven twos like the Seven three's and Seven Oh's were real jets. Loud, smokey, and loud. The way a commercial jet aircraft is supposed to sound.

First time I've seen a modernized and clean 727 cockpit.

Et les spoilers

The Boeing 727 and my favorite airplane😉

727-100 with a modern avionics! PFD, ND, FMS, Autopilot on top. Then don't even need a flight engineer! Cool!

The inside look like a 379 peterbilt without the hood.

Back when Boeing made planes that could actually fly.

Did my checkride on 727 Oct 1974 at Moses Lake . Brand new 727 200 did 8000 hours on the 27 cockpit just as clean 😁

What a great video! Looking forward to many more!

I was wondering why the spoilers never came up. Got my answer.

One thing I can say with certainly is that 727s are LOUD.

Flew on an old Continental 727-100 in 1990. Smooth ride! The only galley was in the middle of the aircraft! Strange but seemed efficient. I looked at the build tag entering the aircraft. 1966!

Does anyone know what flight director/autopilot system is fitted to these private 727's? Seen a few of them now.

1:02 - NOOT NOOT!

Beautiful,B727. Love the 100. Great. Enjoyed. Aussie Bob 😊

you guys are so lucky to fly a 727, not like todays plastic junk full of lame "tv" screens... bummer they canned to old gyros... i despise efis... steam all the way

wawww... : (

727 = Music to my ears. I'd swear that those JT8s are singing. I could listen to the sweet sound all day and then some.

Private 727... "When I win lotery and become a millionaire, I will not tell anyone. But there will be signs..."

727-100 Super 27 is a wonderful looking airplane. VP-BAP flies into Van Nuys and I get to see her maybe once a year taking off to the south and making sweeping left climbing turn.

Must be a Super 27 flying light. Climbing like a rocket.

I love 727's, especially the 100. 727's were such majestic looking aircraft, with their 3 rear engines, wide heavy empennage, and massive wings and flaps. So many planes today almost look alike; most have 2 engines, one under each wing. The 727 is classic that may never be matched, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow classic video! A clear shot of Tanker 944 too! She is no longer a tanker.

I used to really enjoy flying in any of the 27 variants. What a great plane!

👍

Have you been onboard the 727 you show on your channel?

😢

1:54 oof

Do these older planes ever become unsafe to fly due to wear items as metal fatigue, worn engine components, etc?

Beautiful! Go Around Included. I Subscribed.

some people say the right seat of a 727 is the easiest pilot job you can ever have.

Owner hasn't sprung for many panel upgrades. Was wondering if there was a FE on deck -- yes.

That touch and go at the end perfect 👌

It looks like it may be a leftover 727 QF, from UPS. QF meaning quiet freighter. They were re-engined with RR Tay engines. Not sure who owns it, and if it's for freight or passengers in the back. I flew those things for years. A version of that RR Tay is what they are going to install on the B-52s. Slightly different, but it's in the same family. Good engine.

My father flew for Braniff in the 50's, 60's and B727's in the 70's up until they went under. I never got to sit in the cockpit during a flight. This video was great to see what the crew experienced during the ground and take-off phase of a flight. I sure miss my Dad.

Do you own this aircraft, or borrow/rent. Just moved to PHX and looking for a CTLS to rent. Thanks!

I haven't seen that type of throttle lever before in a 727. I'd normally expect the 747 style, obviously 3 instead of 4.

Delta needs to get these!
