Does anyone know if Boeing has a recommendation on painting the wings? I've never seen them painted on a 727 and wonder whether it is advised against. Surely it can't be good for the moving flap surfaces, which may be more prone to binding?
Parham The winglets are the only thing I dislike about this particular plane. I know they aid in fuel efficiency, but they’re just so stupid looking IMO.
strange use of the flaps on this flight; took forever to retract after takeoff, then I'm going to guess not 30 degrees on landing. We always used the same flight profiles on configuration whether it weighed 102K or 197K speeds were different that's it
Winglets on a B-727 ??? Got to wonder WHEN this was??? The B-727 could land on a short strip,An old pal, who flew for TWA, said that when he was a Co-Pilot he flew with a Captain who made a landing into a pretty stiff wind and turned off the rynway in about 1,000 ft. of ground roll.
Wow! A blast from the past! Beautiful landing and engine sound!
Stunning video, some of the best quality and sound capture!
Great to see both sides of the plane during your landing. With an empty cabin you captured some wonderful audio from the engines!
Great sound and picture of a classic aircraft. Thanks
This plane looks like its in great hands
Beautiful weather and flight
Beautiful approach over the water
Beautiful all around.
This was an old Northwest Airlines bird! Back in her day with NW, her reg was [N203US]!
Wow! Now we now how it was in the past! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you for video! Great
Awesome video Ian, with fantastic sound too. Thank you :)
Very nice Airplane!
Look at the size of those windows!

Too bad classic jetliners use more fuel; they look and sound much better than their modern counterparts.
Doesn't everything
Hello 727, how I have missed you so.
Thanks for sharing this nice video.
Good looking cabin.
Is the winglet added to the wingtip by Boeing?

well, in the over 10,000 hours I had flying the three holer I never saw a flaps 15 landing except in the box. Wonder what his Vref was
Mach 1?

Why didnt they make the approach with full flaps?
Flap settings are dependent primarily upon the weight of the aircraft, and prevailing weather. In this case the 727 seems to be lightly laden.
mishko01 It was very lightly laden. There were only 2 passengers on board - me and my friend!
40° is never recommended.

Much safer jets better skilled pilots.
Left inboard needs work.
Pilot waited too long to idle power.
