Agreed, I truly miss the “3 Holer”. Boeing was a very different company back then…After the Alaska incident, you gotta wonder if they are going to be around much longer.
Beautiful sounding aircraft! I've taken flights in Boeing 727s and very strongly agree that these are beautiful classics now! I have a lot of very happy memories of the 727! I used to love riding in the rear cabin where I could hear the engines!
One of, if not the most sleek and beautiful looking aircraft to ever grace the skies. So lucky to have been able to fly on one. Love the roar of those JT8D Pratt and Whitney engines.
I come from Australia and in the eighties the 727s used to take off over our house although we were quite a way from the airport. The plates used to rattle but I tell ya that was an awesome sound
I'm showing my age, but I feel so lucky to have flown on the 72 soooo many times. Some of my most memorable flights include a flight on a Delta 727 between DEN and CVG that STRUGGLED to climb out of DEN on a very hot day. On another Delta 727 out of CVG (yet again) we lost 2 out of the 3 generators and had to return with a Pan Pan Pan call (not mayday). Was cool how they turned off everything in the cabin LOL...Lastly my most memorable 727 flight was aboard a United one from the old BWI A concourse to Denver on a beautiful battleship grey bird that took off in the late after noon. Back then we still got meals with real silverware IN COACH....Combine that with Channel 9, a beautiful sunset and the whine of the 72s engines for nearly 4.5 hours......what an amazing experience!!! Funny I actually got tired flying on Deltas 72s because I always flew them between ATL and MOB when visiting family. How I miss them now 😂😢
Cant get enough of watching a 727 take off - The best would have been a -100 without the hush kits and a huge smoke trail with all the crackling leaving the ground, but for that you must travel back in time meanwhile.....
You are So right, it as almost imposable to tell or they had them or not. Just a bit less "crackling" towards the end of the runway at take off. God I miss that sound@@jonahair747
I'd love to hear again the 727 without hush kits. In Portland, when Horizon Air was flying Fokker F-28s, their Rolls Royce Speys put out a commanding roar. The 727 is definitely no short roll, short field aircraft
That's what these planes are, folks - VERY LOUD!!! Those Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15 engines mounted on the sides and tail were of late '50s to early '60s-era technology. Ironically, at the time of our Boeing 727's debut in 1963, it was nicknamed the "Whisper Jet" because of it being the quietest plane of all jetliners flying at that time. Nowadays, she's one of the loudest still in service! I'm also surprised this old gal didn't use more runway for takeoff. Their average takeoff runs often use more than 5,000 feet. I once witnessed an American 727 in 1995 use almost 12,000 feet for its takeoff out of Houston Bush Airport, bound for Miami. I thought it was going to crash before leaving the ground, too!
Eastern Airlines trademarked "Whisper Jet" for their 727s, which was a reference to how quiet the cabins were - particularly up front in business class. Nobody ever claimed they were quiet outside the aircraft. 😄
Still waiting for the "loud" take off. Maybe for those on the ground? Anyway, thanks for the post. Always liked to use the seats close to the engines. Toilets were near, that rear exit, memories...
The 727 was what the 737 is today. The backbone and workhorse in the modern industry. The 727 was a bullet proof airplane.it was better than today’s 737, but huge gas-hog. That was it downfall.
I don't wanna appreciate quiet jets. I miss the smoky loud engines. During that era, I Lived close to LAX in Los Angeles. I miss the rattling windows and smoke all over the sky.
IN MY OPINION THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOEING'S AIRCRAFT.
The 377 is most
YEP! 727 all the way!
Agreed! Great plane! I love the sound of those engines!
Agreed, I truly miss the “3 Holer”. Boeing was a very different company back then…After the Alaska incident, you gotta wonder if they are going to be around much longer.
The absolute best. The rear steps. Only airliner with rear steps

I can tell you, from personal experience, that this was one of the loudest jets that flew commercially!
Oh yeah…it was loud and proud!!
The Roar of the JT8D,s !
The VC10 and BAC 1-11 were pretty vocal as well.
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built!!

Flew it for years as an FE and first officer. Loved it.
This aircraft has one of, if not the steepest climb ratios of all commercial aircraft. Only airliner with rear steps
I believe many of the MD-80's also had rear stairs.
Hush kits can't tame those beautiful JT8Ds ❤️
What a beautiful sight.

First plane I ever flew on. 18th birthday in late 1982 flying from Dallas to Chicago for Navy basic training.
I only love : B-727 and B-747
You just have to love the Pratt & Whitney engines, upon the 727, THE GREATEST Aircraft, to ever grace the skies.

JT8 at full bore...the pure sound of freedom. Luv it😄
Freedom? Really?
One of the best aircraft Boeing built. But it was done with real engineers and craftsmen. Not like todays aircraft.
Unfortunately, this one has hush-kits . Wonderful clip, Thanks
Those hushkits are absolutely no match for the 727!

A very loud and smokey takeoff😂😂🎉🎉! ✈️🛫👏💪
And one of the most beautiful.
So nice to see such a clean wing with out those ugly winglets
winglets swinglets😂😂😂
Flew on a Delta one. No complaints.
IT IS... THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIRD EVER BUILT AND THIS VIEW IS ICONIC....... WHEW !!!!!
Jt8 engines
I member we installed multiple engines on deltas md90s with v2500s
These727 planes would take off from LGA and fly over Shea Stadium during Mets games. It was deafening.

Back when Boeing built safe planes.
Beautiful bird
“If it looks good, it flies good.”
Even with hush-kits installed, the JT8D's were loud as hell! Is it any wonder why, after 42 years, working around these beasts, I'm deaf as a post?! 😂
I USED TO FLY ON THEM IN TH 70S TWA OUT OF STL
Beautiful!!!!
I miss the sound of a REAL jet airliner.
And parts didn't fall off either
Excellent video of this beautiful Boeing 727 🎉🤩✈️👍 Just subscribed!
hey friend, thank you very much for the sub and for watching my videos when they come from someone like you, I feel good, thank you
😊😢❤
@@gilfran1863 You are very welcome! Merry Christmas 🎄
@@matthiashaenni thanks 😁 merry Christmas too

How old is this plane..love it . What airport is this.
EN MI OPINION ÉSTE ES EL AVION MAS PINTORESCO DE LA BOEING.
Followed by the 757❤
Even with hush kit these birds were Dodge-Cummins with straight pipe kind of loud.
Crispy take off. Well done
W życiu znajduje swoją drogę 🌎❤🌱
Your right 727 is the best
Musica para mis oídos ....
Great aircraft
Is this a burnt-out Air Panama F100 in the shed? Or is it just rotting away?
Didn't know Boeing had trijets.
The 727 was what the 737 is today. The backbone and workhorse in the modern industry. The 727 was a bullet proof airplane.it was better than today’s 737, but huge gas-hog. That was it downfall.
What a beauty...i hope this girl will stay in service for the next 30 years ...Fuel consumption? We fill up in Venezuela haha
great plane!
Lovely aircraft !
Maravilha ✈✈✈✈✈✈🇧🇷
Makes you appreciate how quiet modern airliners are.
I don't wanna appreciate quiet jets. I miss the smoky loud engines. During that era, I Lived close to LAX in Los Angeles. I miss the rattling windows and smoke all over the sky.
Wasn’t this called the “whisper jet”? As I recall the interior was quieter than most passengers jets during flight, even by today’s standards.
Tyler Mac let’s get the engine loud
Forget about the noise. It’s about the pollution of those old engines.
Whats date?
The smoothest and quietest jet I ever rode on was a B727
Beautiful jet of course...but does anyone else feel like it was maybe leaking some oil of the accessory? lol
what's that smoke that's coming from the tail section? near the APU or so 2:18
no worries thats just hillary clinton burning some cocaine accounting records!!😂😂😂
Lolita Express?
😂😂😂
And that’s with the hush kits….
Videon 😍
Normal volume for a 727
Wtf was that registration 💀
