    great video, thank you for the posting. i worked for federal express when we first got the 727. i was apu certified, jump seated many times on them and got to write my name in the aft stairs section of the last 727 ever made. many, many great memories.

    The Boeing 727 is the best medium-range commercial aircraft ever built. One of the first flights of my life was in a Boeing 727-100, and I remember how incredible it was. I am today a enthusiast pilot and fly this plane on Fligh Simulator X. Because of the success of this airplane, Boeing Company should re-design it to a Super 727-X version. I really love this plane.

    Awesome video! As a kid I lived right over the approach track to the old Stapleton Intl. Airport in Denver, and used to watch the jets line up on final. Noisy as all get out, but a sight to remember!
    There was a time when most of the jets flying overhead were 727's.

    My dad who was head of the Boeing photo unit and his crews probably shot most of this footage. I hired in to Boeing in June 1964 and was assigned to be a riveter's assistant on the 727 48 section torque boxes. Lost some of my hearing there! A year later I advanced to mechanic installing the hydraulic rams, jackscrew, cables and trim actuators in the vertical fin. Always liked the 727.

    So fortunate to have this plane during my business traveling days. The most enjoyable plane to fly and could manuver nearly like a fighter. Fast, smooth and check schedules to be assured of getting a 727. This plane climber faster from take off of any plane I ever flew in. This plane needs to be built again...but never to be I suppose. Feel sorry for traveling public that never got to experience this jewel of the skies. Awesome piece of equipment never to be seen again in my opionion.

    I miss this plane in today’s skies.
    I was lucky enough to fly with both versions 721 & 722 back in the 70s & 80s.
    (The 721 had the galley in the centre).
    The aircraft was also quite popular in Europe and flew alot to the middle east & Africa.
    It had a great acceleration and short take off roll, however i often felt it was more prone to turbulence than other aircraft’s.

    I was riding on an Eastern airlines flight once in the jump seat on a B-727-100 and the captain decided to climb to FL390. It was a bit high for our weight and the pitch attitude was on the high side to hold altitude. Anyways, the -100 had an oval shaped intake on the center engine and at high pitch it could cause compressor stall. So sure enough we get this bang bang bang in rapid succession. The captain reduced the power on the center engine and told the F/O to request a lower. The problem went away and we descended to FL350. I had been told by guys that flew the B-727 that the early birds had too much lift lost by the speed brakes which led to a couple of accidents such as in SLT. Boeing reduced the number of panels used inflight and the problem was solved. I never flew one but always enjoyed riding on them. Just watching the wing come apart on approach and landing was amazing.

I remember pulling down the sunscreen and it said 880 on it, and I asked my dad, what is an 880 and is it safe!

    when i was at EASTERN, i absolutely LOVED working on this aircraft. rock steady in rough air. the only thing about her that i did not like was the lack of keeping cool on the ground on hot summer days. other than that, i love the '72. sleek and classic looking. and sitting on the aft jump seat, hearing those PW jt8's....... music to my ears. long live the 727 in all her forms.

    If you were sitting to the aft of the wings, on approach and landing you would literally see the trailing edges "come apart" at full flaps and you could easily see to the ground between the slats of the flaps. And similarly if you sat forward of the wings, watching the leading-edge flaps come out was amazing, too.

    Eastern toured the system with their first one in 1964 to give the new airplane a little publicity. When it departed ATL the crew made an impressive climbout. s soon as it went into service I rode one from ATL up to EWR. Fast and quiet. The new generation of jet airliners had arrived. Truly a great plane with a character all its own.

  • @Dan.d649
    @Dan.d649 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The 727 was one terrific airplane that was developed right. It's done so many things really well that one can imagine. The Boeing Chairman, Bill Allen, already predicted that the 727 was going to succeed handsomely. He said so assuredly: "The 727, will be a great airplane for a long time". Years later, his prediction was right. One thing about Bill Allen that made people alike at Boeing think was, he had a great knowledge, and perception of what was coming through in his company, and most of the time when he envisioned something to succeed, he was mostly right!! He did have teams of great engineers that came from all walks of life, to build airplanes, but his direction along with them helped to create something great like the 727, and make the airplane become an instant success. The amazing "newer" wing that the 727 was to incorporate at the time, which consisted of tripple-slotted flaps, for "slow-approaches" for landing, became a popular concept with flight crews. The "take-offs" were rather "fast", and completely amazing for a three engine airplane. Many pilots enjoyed their careers on a 727, saying that it was an airplane that loved to fly "fast", when it was at cruising altitude, with a "clean" configuration. The passengers loved the smoothness that it flew as well. As practical as this airplane was, the airlines which ordered it, were cashing in and improving their route structures almost immediately. This is why it was dubbed "The Cash Cow". With over eighteen hundred of them sold to the airlines, it instantly became a very popular airplane for the passengers masses, and many carriers alike. It also later became a solid freighter also. Great Boeing airplane it was.

    I really enjoyed seeing these 727s taking off. They had character.
    Unlike any of today's aircraft, 727s didn't whisper when they take off. Those JT8D engines were highly durable and reliable, and very noisy in full takeoff power.
    I truly miss these old silver birds.

    No wing fences on the prototype. An FAA pilot performed a "whip stall" -[!]- on a 727 during the final certification stages, and it nearly spun, so Boeing installed a prominent "fence" or rounded vertical cuff on the leading edge of the wing about 2/3 of the way to the tip to prevent "wing dropping" in the event that an airline pilot would decide to perform a whip stall! Also, it helped stop spanwise flow of air.

  • @shikat2371

    These early aircraft: the 727, BAC 1-11, Vickers VC10,........... were so noisy that most of them were already put out of service. There's a few 727s still in service. FedEx still flies the 727 and I think their 727 is fitted with hush kits. I like it without hush kits.

    This is my all time favorite airliner. In mechanic school I was asked to research how many ways to lower the rear stairwell. Electronically, hydraulically, by gravity, by explosive charge, you could literally hop up and down on it til it opened and so on a so forth.. I think there were about a dozen different ways to open that thing :-)

    More stringent noise regulations have put all 727s out of commercial service. That is unfortunate. A few 727s are still in service, but they are mostly for private use. I like the sound of the 727 taking off. A non-hushkit 727 taking off is very noisy, but not as noisy as the BAC 1-11 or a VC10 taking off, and it's not as deafening.

    My dad used to fly 727's as a kid. These things almost never fly anymore.
    HOWEVER, I recently discovered that Cargojet Airways flies a 727 into my home airport of KEWR every weeknight, and sometimes, the flights go directly over my house! In the past 2 weeks, I've spotted at least 4 classic Boeing 727's flying over my house (thanks to tracking them on flightaware.com)! It's pretty cool to see such a rare and classic airline fly over my house almost every day now! Loud, smokey, and awesome!

    New airplanes have the anti glare properties built directly into the windshield it self!

    Smog check? lol. I miss the 727. Unless I work for a foreign carrier or a cargo carrier. I will never fly a 727 with an airline. :-(

    Nice looking bird! It's sad 727s rarely seen these days. At least quality of video seem to be improved since 196x.
