I work for an airline. I never thought I would miss those loud smoky kerosene smelling days. But how I wish I could go back to that time! And of course being young again!
Reason why 727s, along with DC-9s sound beautiful is because their engines were tail mounted instead of wing mounted, meaning only the last row heard the engines.
The flight controls (wing flaps and slats) that you were hearing are extended and retracted with a series of torque-tube's and screw-jack's. They are powered by the aircrafts hydraulic system, either system A or system B. The 727's had fully redundant hydraulic system in case one of them failed the flight crew could select the backup system and fly the aircraft safely with no loss of flight control.
i clicked on this to research something i'm writing, only to hear the flight is landing in new orleans! considering this is my hometown and my mom graduated in 1992, i almost feel a sense of longing watching this video 😂
Nothing has ever been free. The meals were added into the cost of the ticket. Flying used to be much much more expensive than it is today. In 1970 a round trip coast to coast ticket ran you over 2000$ a ticket in 2024 dollars
Well i remember having lasagna or a turkey sandwich. In all honesty the food was ok and a few times pretty good. There was much more room and the flight crews were generally friendly unlike today. The smoking onboard wasnt fun but by the time this was filmed it was banned.
90s air travel for me is the best time of being a kid the excitement of it never got old

90s was such a unique time man
Yeah. U got the trijet the 737 original and more
Lockheed L1011s were amazing aircraft as well too advanced for its age...
Martin had absolutely nothing to do with the L1011.
I fixed it...

Gotta love that sound when they put the spurs to those JT8D engines. Some of Pratt & Whitney's best aviation pornography!
You could hear the cables moving the flight controls and the clunk of the main gear and doors. Nice film, Thank you.

Not how the 727 worked it used hydraulics
Great! Love it! Greetings from Norway. One of the few counries that did not fly the 727.
Great video quality as well. Thanks.

I miss these. They weren't known for their climb rate, though.
727s took forever to get off the ground. Sometimes as long as 1 minute compared to 20 seconds of today's aircraft
Rolls Royce engines! Beautiful ❤️
Theses are Pratt Whitney JT8Ds though.
The L1011 had the Rolls Royce.
Workhorse of the skies.
HELL. YES!
God I LOVE and miss the 727 but it sure was a pig on the runway!!! But once it got to cruise it was faster than anyone!!!
I think I heard the captain say destination New Orleans.
Yep New Orleans...
@@Gerrit-Poort did they provide you with free meals in coach class on this flight? if they did, what were the meals?

@@Jeff-sp7bg i understand that.. anyway, do you still recall what was served to coach class pax on domestic US flights back in the 90s?

Miss those old Pratts.
Where were you landing?
New Orleans, La.
Where did you land?
New Orleans, La
Sorry, that ROAR brings up too many memories to not appreciate the 90s
Lot of empty seats, it looks like.
