Beautiful classic aircrafts.. Where are they gone...????
I miss these days in aviation! I was 18 when this was shot. I miss that, too!
I was a truck driver for Dobbs house in 1970/71 I was on many many older planes,DC-8,707s,DC-9s &727s,I remember the first 747 that we saw and how far those entry doors were from ground!😊
@leeborich That 727 was being operated by Sun Country Airlines, leased from Dan Air. Certainly on a short lease, because it was wearing Dan Air colors, with only small Sun Country titles.
LOVE that Continental 727 with the GOLDEN TAIL!
The magnificent Boeing 727 will live forever in my heart!
Just like the last video the 727's really had a hard time getting of the deck, though the one in the last vid seemed to be terrified of the sky.
The roar of the 727 departing was amazing.
Just an FYI - Air Florida had 5 727-227's which remained in the fleet until July 3, 1984. The Sun Country A/C seen here was N273AF. N271AF and N272AF went to Cayman Airways.Dan-Air may have acquired it after they (QH) filed bankruptcy 7/3/84.
I loooove love and miss continental with the golden tail!!!good old times...i miss the 727's too!!
i think Boeing should of kept the 727's running for another 20yrs
Me too, but they were just too thirsty for fuel (compared to the 737 & A320, which could do the same job using less fuel).
the 727 also needed a flight engineer, it was more costly to have that extra flightcrew as well as the gas guzzle engines
Good points all yet sad. The 727, to me, was just a graceful, beautiful aircraft.
Would have been nice if Boeing kept building the 727, the 737, 747, 757 & the 767 out last the 727. Improvements in my opinion on jet fuel consumption could've been improved as I think was improved on the 737. Someone mentioned the 727's had a flight engineer, this is true but so did the 747 had a flight engineer until that position was eliminated & now only 2 in cockpit of the 747. Ijs.
thank you for all the 727 200 video's
PS...the AMERICA WEST 757 ROCKED!
Best liveries & aircraft of the time, good days. I've flown on a Sun Country 727 like this one here.
Love seeing the old planes as well as the skyline
Aviões são máquinas maravilhosas.Voar é uma grande liberdade.Obrigada.
A friend of mine and a tow pilot for the gliding club I'm in is a pilot for SCA. He use to fly their 727's DC-10's and now flies their 737's and is in the top 5 of their pilots.
There's a shitload of classics like the DC-9 and MD-80 still flying in asian countries, the next classic which will be retired is the british VC10 airliner first flown in 1962.
@wero8a1 yes, but not really.
wow I thought that plane was still new I guess I'm showing my age?
Yeah me 2
I kept the 727-200's on my flight simulator X game
Wow - Dan Air B727s in LAS! Superb!!
While I was on the 727, I never heard or read, or were trained to dump the flaps after touchdown as seen on the one at 4:40, unless it was a touch and go, which they went to 15 or 5. But this was not a touch and go. Very strange procedure indeed. Great video, though. Thanks for sharing.
javacup912 the 727 was the last “fun” aircraft I’ve flown although the 757 comes very close. Both were a bit overpowered which gave the 727 a huge marketing advantage over the the Trident, and it had more seating. To maintain the tri engine, T-tail design and to be comparatively easy on fuel consumption, Boeing would have had to build a DC-10/TriStar sized aircraft. Three engines on a single aisle aircraft was like nipples on a man, just decorative filling no practical need. All together the two jumbo 3-holders only sold maybe 675 units all together. That s fine for the Brits and 10 times normal for a Soviet aircraft, but not enough to cover R&D expenses for Boeing or Douglas. We all know the early DC-10 horror stories
Oh please tell me you have the AA DC-10 takeoff!!!?
Nice 27! x-PE, x-Alitalia looking great with the Golden Tail, thanks for sharing
It helps with slowing down. With less flaps, there is less lift, and the breaks have more slowing action.
Today it's possible to spott from the same place??
Greetings
saludos from EL SALVADOR ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS
AA 767-200 AT 1:07 AND 2:10 twelve years later same type of plane hit the north tower of the world trade center at 500 mph. Baby wide body. Not a small plane
The reg# on the 27 @ 2:52 looks to be N275AF, and if so was DEL to Air Florida in Nov of 81. Was originally intended for BN as N484BN (NTU), went to Sun Country on Jan of 83....
Great stuff!
Did that 727 Put up it's flaps at 4:55??????
Good spot! I'm wondering if the pilot mistakenly retracted flaps instead of deploying spoilers, which are only visible later, after the flaps are nearly completely retracted.
Nice work Ryan, VERY cool!
Sun country is still operating today
And 23 years later, that same AA MD-80 can be seen landing
Runways 25R and Left must have been shorter then.. Circa late 80s early 90s? I also wonder if that HP 757 was the one they dropped in PHX MX
Awesome Vintage....
Actually if you think about it in 1989, MD-80's were reletively modern! I meen in 1989 the MD-88's were just being introduced!
Where are the 727's reverse thrusters?
TheGamerverse There were two kinds of thrust reversers on the 727. One with the buckets visible on the outside, the other with the clamshell door not visible. The visible clamshells were installed on the -100 with the -7 engine. on the -200, a series of vents (they have a name, but I haven't been on the 727 since the late 80s) in which the clamshell was inside of. On #1 and #3 engine, these "vents" are on top and bottom, and on #2 engine, they are on each side. Most -100 were later retrofitted with the -200 version as the engines were swapped with -11, or -15.
Oh okay
Bro - no HD? (JK;);)
