I agree. My favorite plane ever. To take the engines off the wings and on the back and the horizontal stabilizer on top was real out-of-the-box thinking.
Amazing innovations happen when the government takes it's foot off the throat of America's economy. The 707s and 727s were true marvels for their time. And in that short period of time between WW2 and the launch of the 727, America didn't see a conga line of politicians trying to run everyone's lives. If today's government was in place during the 50s, there would be no 727.
Almost a minute long takeoff roll! LOVE IT. It always cracked me up how 727s were designed for short runway takeoffs yet they used virtually the whole runway and lumbered off the ground in a slow climb. Still, it is my favorite AC of all time! Excellent vid!
Don't they have de-rated take off procedures like other airliners? In that regard they are programmed to use most of the runway to save wear and fuel. In other words they would've applied more power and taken off sooner with a shorter runway.
I miss that sound of a 727 spooling up to takeoff power. A secure and familiar feeling of being pulled back into your seat as it starts rolling down the runway. Thanks for the post!
Now I'm going from plane videos to looking into videos of what Iran is really like - not what media outlets show, the actual country..its layout...its people. Great video!
Yup, same here. I used to ride 727-200s of Eastern Airlines Shuttle and Trump Shuttle between LaGuardia (NewYork) and Reagan National (Maryland/Wash. DC) way back in the early to mid 1980s.
WPLU572 Trunked Radio They were still used extensively in the early 1990s. Last time I flew on one was the early 2000s not long before they started to noticeably disappear.
Coaljet The 747 adapted it’s scaled up trailing edge system directly from the 727 because it was so successful and reliable. The 737 has a scaled down version of the same system.
I reckon the 727 has the most amazing flaps of any commercial airliner. I flew in the 727 many times in Australia in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I always tried to get a window seat behind the wing to watch the flaps, especially during landing. Great video. Thank you.
Like the old saying goes if it looked good it flew good.I had the opportunity to fly in the Ansett 727s in the 80s and Australian Airlines in the early 90s and they were fantasic to fly in.An Australian 727 did a low pass at the Avalon Airshow in 1992 and i just thought what a machine.
..flew on 727 s many a time in my day.-100s and -200s on many different airlines including American, Braniff, Continental, Delta Northwest, TWA, United and even Lufthansa. My last flight on one was in January of 2001 on a -200 for Northwest from MKE to DTW. (shortly before the airline retired the type in favour of the A-320). Long takeoff roll as well since we were fully loaded. Always loved sitting behind the wing to watch it "disassemble" for landing.
The 727 was able to fly out of anywhere. They flew in and out of Denver with Continental and United. It is a proven workhorse. High density altitude? No problem.
I remeber flying in a First Air 727 out to Canada's far North to airports like Nanasivik and Resolute Bay. Gravel runways to be exact. The 727 really could take you anywhere.
There is nothing unusual about this takeoff. I've witnessed this same view hundreds of times as a passenger myself. My first ride on a 727 was around 1965 on a UAL 727-100 ( The original short one ) from NY to New Orleans. Impressed by the initial rate of climb after takeoff and quiet smooth ride. I fell in love with this jet at first flight.
The 727 was a great airplane! I spent my first 7 years at Delta flying it. A bit under-powered by modern standards but it had a thin sweptback wing and was faster than most contemporary jets. This takeoff reminds me of a hot day in Denver, Colorado, US. It had great high lift technology but it still was a ground gripper when heavy under hot/high field conditions. Once you got it cleaned up it was fine. I miss it.
When I was a kid, we flew Pan Am to Switzerland through JFK. We took a 727-200 on our return flight home from JFK to IAH. I remember we started the takeoff at the end of 13R and didn't lift off until the 1000 footers for 4L. The ground roll must have been around 8000-9000 feet and lasted at least a minute if not longer. I flew on many 727's in my life, but for some reason always remembered that takeoff in particular. In my opinion, the long takeoff rolls, loud engines and black smoke trailing out the back is what made flying so appealing to me when I was a child. By the time I made it to the airlines, they were all the eco-friendly, organic, gluten free jets they have in service today.
Most airlines around the world have retired their 727s, when I checked Aseman Airlines fleet on Wikipedia, it looks like they stopped operating 727s in January of 2019, so it's amazing to see a video of one still flying up until early last year, Also being that this aircraft is operated by an Iranian airline, with the trade restrictions the United States has with Iran, I wonder where they were getting their spare parts from.
This is like going through a time warp. Nice JT8D buzz and the dual ailerons, the outboard ones only moved when there was some flap/slat applied. Yea that is a long takeoff roll, not like a new 737 with CFM56 engines!
In the late 1960s-until mid 70s I flew between Sydney and Melbourne monthly and had no choice of 727 or DC9 so each time you cracked a 727 it was like winning the lottery, beautiful plane!!!
Taxiing for departure is like being on an aviation safari from 30 years ago, lots of rare and interesting birds. Amazing to think this 727 was still flying with Iran Aseman until only last year, 2019. I timed that roll be be about 59 seconds.....wow!
World's longest takeoff run right here! Never seen nor experienced anything longer. I wish I could fly on older jets. Sure, the new generation of jetliners are more comfortable and quiet, but they are absolutely boring as hell.
I don't know about the newer planes being more comfortable with those seats in coach being so incredibly small and close together. I've noticed how the seats have shrunk in size over the years.
You’re absolutely right. These new ones are pooped out of spreadsheets. Pride in hand built and hand designed has gone away. The 727 is the BEST plane Boeing ever built. The icing on the cake is the Pratt and Whitney JT-8 engines. I will forever hold the 727 as my favorite!
It's so sad that Iran Aseman made the last commercial passenger flight of the 727 on January 13, 2019. Everything went well, the flight was between Zahedan and Tehran.
My dad flew this jet a year after this video in business class, he said it was funny because the seats in buisness class were Americans md82 first class seats, he went on the exact same flight as Timothy! Nice video;)
@@jaysmith1408 was thinking the same thing except, you can still hear the high spooling over the buzzsaw sound which I can't on a mad dog and I've flown in quite a few mad dogs in my life, but I don't recall flying in a 727 before.
Super long takeoff for a very short flight. Tehran to Mashhad is about 500 miles, and Tehran is about 3300 feet in elevation and in a very hot climate making it a "hot and high" airfield. Probably not a very heavy takeoff, but definitely hot and high, and the 727 is famous for its very long takeoffs.
ecoRfan In fact, the weather was quite cool and takeoff was around 7am that day so heat wouldn't have played too much part for this particular departure. Maybe the pilots were just showing off haha
If you track the centerline & rotate the 727 on it, the nose wheel can hit a runway light or rough surface & compresses the nose gear oleo just as the pilot lifts the nose and then the oleo rebounds to full extension when the wheels leave the runway prior to retraction, causing a bang.
Never got to fly on one of those, so watching this will have to do. Looks to be a skillfully-designed jet, not nearly as utilitarian as the 737s/A320s that dominate the skies today.
Notice the inboard and outboard ailerons, wing spoilers, and the fowler flaps. Wing sweep is 40 degrees. Wingtips cannot be seen from the cockpit. The flight engineer sits sideways. Three other sideways seats on the aircraft are toilets. The long takeoff roll is due to high density altitude and gross weight. Temps are usually well over 110 degrees in Dubai.
I noticed a strange "typewriterish" sound in the video. I'm guessing that this is the sound of the noisy auto-trim (pitch) system doing its work. Am I correct?
People always talk about the long take off role of the 727. Why beat the hell out of the engines if you don't need to. Plus full conservation. Can they get up sooner? Hell yes they can! If you have a long runway. Use it to your advantage.
On any airport runway in the world, u wl find two numbers written at both the two ends of the runway. What's the meaning/significance of these two numbers and what's the difference between the two numbers n why is the difference always constant for all the runways in the world ?
I can tell this 72 is full topped off with fuel just by the wing! Full pax load also? I'd use five degrees more flap that whatever setting this Cap used on your flight... jus sayin
Why retract the wing ailerons on takeoff? seems unusual to see this, they should be retracted AFTER level flight not BEFORE, with fuel and passengers aboard obviously dangerous.
Iran being embargoed, it must be difficult for them to source parts for these machines. I think they are doing flex take-offs all the time. These ailerons look dodgy to me. For some reason, it's compensated left. If they clean this plane, it would look less scary!
(V1), check.....(rotate)....hold on, (rotate)....copy, hold on. (Captain, rotate), ....yes I know. (Rotate).....you said that already. (Captain we should rotate now). Just another second.....OK....rotate. Just texted my wife, we need bread.

Incredibly advanced for an airplane designed only about 20 years after WW2. That always amazes me.

I Love The 727's wing . . .Ive seen this view as a passenger many times in my 41 Years!
Yup, same here. I used to ride 727-200s of Eastern Airlines Shuttle and Trump Shuttle between LaGuardia (NewYork) and Reagan National (Maryland/Wash. DC) way back in the early to mid 1980s.
Probably more complexity than the airplane needed, but man, is it ever cool to look at. Almost like a mini-747 wing. Same trailing edge flap layout.

thats a monster airport
i live in iran and the answer is i agree with you, the airport has a lot of plane coz its the airport of the capital

New aircraft are the most uncomfortable piles of shit in the country!
Engine´s roar...awsome!!
It's like this airport is stuck in time crazy
Not many places you can go back in time like this. It was an amazing place to visit!
That skyline, could have been someplace in the US. Had no idea Tehran was that built up, freeways with cars moving right along, etc.
You ain’t seen nothing yet
Lol that's such an American comment. You do realise most countries are like this?
@reverse thrust lol nah I'm alright
Yeah, it’s not a dump. They just have a crappy government.
TheHesK9 the guy made a compliment and your response seemed rude that’s all.
air is thin in Tehran so higher speed is needed for take off
rs1020
its only ~1200m so, only around 10% higher
And they are still heavy up there.
This is probably one of the smoother takeoffs I've ever seen. Nice.
I had one of the smoothest landings in a Delta 727 many years ago.
Happy To see this old and strong plane
The only plane that end up by taking off only because Earth is round.
Matrix Wavelength what about the a340 ?
IL 86: Am I a joke to you?
Loved the view around the airport - keep it up
It’s a simulation - lol
It seems like the 727 spends more time on its mains before leaving the ground and I love that feel and look.
If the DC 9 was the Beatles of regional air travel, the 727 was it's Rolling Stones
+Charles Vannice The DC9 was a complete failure for the most part, but the MD80's were the newely improved versions.
Except the 727 gave us Satisfaction. Also, if you start her up, she'll never stop. Okay, I'll stop now.
It's so sad that Iran Aseman made the last commercial passenger flight of the 727 on January 13, 2019. Everything went well, the flight was between Zahedan and Tehran.
What is the aircraft on the ground at 6:18?
Good question but it looks like a 707 frame
Throttle at 90%....set.....OK your plane....wake me up at V1. 😅😅😅
ha ha . Thin air. maybe.
God, how big is that airport? Interesting to see so many 747,s around the place..
I love the classic buzz!!!
I miss flying to the Middle East Beirut and Tehran we're just such beautiful cities
Tehran was amazing and the people there are wonderful!
It's funny the reactions today towards the duration of a 727 take off. I felt every take off run of a 727 incredibly fast and silent 😃
Crazy how planes have evolved I remember this kind of wing as a kid.
5:28 Bell UH-1's? 5:33 CH-47's? 5:37 C-130's? +1 @ 5:46? Long live the long take-off, gives a good view!
From the era when airplanes sounded like...airplanes.
Too right! Now they all sound like drones haha
Did nobody else notice how much it sounds like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars?!!
How many 747's parked?
0:01 why did the spoilers turn on?
Good question! Maybe a test?

LOVE the spool up.
I love take offs and landings. By the time this one was going down the runway, I’m like well damn are they driving a car or what?

Always wondered what the loud bang was at takeoff. Everytime I rode on one just at liftoff, bang from the rear
If you track the centerline & rotate the 727 on it, the nose wheel can hit a runway light or rough surface & compresses the nose gear oleo just as the pilot lifts the nose and then the oleo rebounds to full extension when the wheels leave the runway prior to retraction, causing a bang.
Bang from the rear = Landing gear wheel off the ground ;) It's own weight at liftoff causes the "bang"
Sometimes it's an unlocked food trolley rolling out of stowage & crashing into opposite galley. LOL.
It’s the main landing gear struts bottoming out after breaking ground. Loved hearing that. Ear candy :D
The flaps are huge on these old birds
any flight OUT of iran is a good one
Never got to fly on one of those, so watching this will have to do. Looks to be a skillfully-designed jet, not nearly as utilitarian as the 737s/A320s that dominate the skies today.
Not a lot of tarmac left after take off. Gotta get your sheckles worth

Was this a CIA covert mission? What's all the digital camera clicking??
Aviation enthusiast's tour :)
Craig Arndt lol was wondering the same
Im not allowd to tell you Caig, YOu should forget you ever heard that sound
It's a SLR camera; these airplanes no longer fly in such large numbers, but they did in the 70s and 80s.
SLR cameras were more common back then.

On any airport runway in the world, u wl find two numbers written at both the two ends of the runway.
What's the meaning/significance of these two numbers and what's the difference between the two numbers n why is the difference always constant for all the runways in the world ?
180° difference
Pure romantic
So cool...
I can tell this 72 is full topped off with fuel just by the wing! Full pax load also? I'd use five degrees more flap that whatever setting this Cap used on your flight... jus sayin

Why retract the wing ailerons on takeoff? seems unusual to see this, they should be retracted AFTER level flight not BEFORE, with fuel and passengers aboard obviously dangerous.
Seems like a shallow climb.
Awesome footage! =D
Thankyou!
Iran being embargoed, it must be difficult for them to source parts for these machines. I think they are doing flex take-offs all the time.
These ailerons look dodgy to me. For some reason, it's compensated left. If they clean this plane, it would look less scary!
(V1), check.....(rotate)....hold on, (rotate)....copy, hold on. (Captain, rotate), ....yes I know. (Rotate).....you said that already. (Captain we should rotate now). Just another second.....OK....rotate. Just texted my wife, we need bread.
The pilot should've put down more flap since the takeoff was heavy.
İran is such a prehistoric country
Tiny airport with just a few airbridges. How can it support a huge country with such a large population?
This is the second airport for mainly domestic and military/gov ops. The main airport is IKA
Bruto demais!
