I remember in 97 flying a Delta 727 into Newark. Because of delays, there were only a handful of people on the flight and we were all upgraded to first class. Cockpit door was left open and I got to watch the flight engineer work. Kiwi was a stalwart at the airport at this time.
I always love aircraft with clean wings- they look so aerodynamic and sleek. I grew up in NYC and LaGuardia Airport had 727s landing all day everyday.... It was my favorite jet back in the late 70s. Farewell to a great workhorse!
I was with my dad in the cockpit landing a 737800 in Trondheim(Norway) when it was foggy at night. We also saw the northern lights :D first time for me.
I Dispatched for Sky Trek we had 5, three 727-200 Adv and two 727-200’s. When push came to shove I always favored the non-adv birds. They were N259US and N267US both former North West birds and 259 blew stinger lights every 20-25 hours, had to have both to dispatch. Of course they came with the big -7 engines, climbing is something they did poorly. The others had -15 engines as I recall, they were made in 1977-79 the other 2 were just 1 month younger than I, the airworthiness certificate dated January 1969. I love 72’s I finished out my career dispatching executive mailing tubes with a QS tail. Every one of those jets out computer power the 72 but only the Citation X can pass a 72.
Great video of a beautiful aircraft. Such awesome comments on the vid too. Yes, the Delta livery is quite cool looking as well is the TWA 727. But not once is the Eastern Air Lines 727 in the vid. Guess they didn't fly in/out of Newark. Too bad though. That was another great example of a superb aircraft for it's time. Rode on the 727 many times as a little tyke, probably out of LaGurardia. Back in those days we always got free playing cards and plastic wings! YAY!!! (For you old school Delta fans, I especially loved that livery on the L1011)
My first 727 flight was onboard a UAL 727-100 in "Friend-Ship" livery when I was 6 years old. Thought it was the coolest looking aircraft with the T-tail, triple slotted flaps, leading edge slats, and those 3 Pratt & Whitney JT8-D's. Thanks for all the great videos my friend, Semper Fidelis!
I used to watch these beauties take off and land from the crane ladders across the TPK, at Mearsk shipping line, when I worked there in the late 70's I even got to see a Concord that was rerouted there from JFK land, and then take off. They had to back it up to the very edge of the runway parallel to the TPK, and she had a full throttle run before reaching V take off speed to lift off. The local media reported on the unusual event, and speculated wheather there would be enough runway for her to be able to lift off. That was a once in a lifetime event!
When you see how some "Airlines" treated their fine 727 aircraft like graffiti walls, you can maybe understand why they are no longer around if that sort of thinking was also carried over into their operational decision making.
I wanted to give a like to this video. But whoever has made it has focussed very-little on the high and beautiful tails. It was stupid to ignore the tails, which were gorgeous.
Too bad All the 727s are no longer flying in and out of any airports anymore althought 727s was one of the loudest aircraft as I don't know what like they were about I'll say just as loud as some of the military jets
If you're curious, there's a cargo 727 flown by AmeriJet out of MIA which stops in the carribean and is a regular in St Maartin. I had the pleasure of getting hit with its jet blast on the beach!
Too bad these trijets are to costly to operate, even for cargo operators. Aviation in the 21st century is changing too rapidly, we have seen lots of planes going and appearing in these last 15 years. Cheers for the 727
Sure. It depends on the series -100, -200, -200 with advanced engines and if they have aux tanks, etc. but the range goes from about 1,500Nm to as much as 3,000+Nm. I've flown all the 727 series, and there can be quite a difference.
According to a WIKI 1800-2600 nm depending on variant when fully loaded. In 2013 188 out of 1832 built were still in service. Most are in cargo service or third world country airlines. I was last on one in 2002, on an American Airlines flight still in TWA colors. It was a 100 variant and I was VERY surprised to see it still in service.
The Boeing 727 was my FAVORITE. How I MISS that tail, and the three engines clustered in back. NOTHING will EVER replace it!
Pienso igual que Ud. Es un bellísimo diseño. Insuperable. Saludos!
727 just Flying today to but only cargo 727 Flying only than i See 727 many Time in 2018 and 2019 to
I especially liked the Continental, American, Mexican, United, FedEx, Lufthansa, TWA, British Airways, Cargo Jet, and Northwest 727s

Yeah flying was freedom back then now it's like being aboard a prison plane
Most beautiful aircraft ever made.
The Boeing 727: the best medium range jetliner EVER! Thanks for posting.
Great plane. By 1997 I was a FedEx Newark mechanic and worked PEX, Continental, American & FedEx 727s. And loved it!
I always love aircraft with clean wings- they look so aerodynamic and sleek.
I grew up in NYC and LaGuardia
Airport had 727s landing all day everyday.... It was my favorite jet back in the late 70s.
Farewell to a great workhorse!
Fantastic camera work! This reminds me of my field service yay days.... back in the day! .
Ahh... to be young again.
sigh
KIWI is the only memorable airline I really remember as a kid and we flew on them to MCO and back I miss those days of flying
727- one of the coolest aircraft ever built.
I just love the 727! And that Delta livery, classic cool!
Yeah that big black front nose and the old color scheme it was bad ads looking plane beefy and rough was thev727
Great memories - from 96 to 2001 was at Newark Airport 3 times a week flying across our country. 727 was the first plane I ever flew on back in 82.
it is a shame 727s are almost gone.
I was with my dad in the cockpit landing a 737800 in Trondheim(Norway) when it was foggy at night. We also saw the northern lights :D first time for me.
It's nice to see these 727's again.I had flown a lot with them back at the 70's-80's..Great memories.Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Michael. Glad you enjoyed it. The 727 is/was a great plane!
727 is a clasic model very Nice good job gretting from México
Some pretty retro liveries there! ☺
My favorite plane!! #B727love
Same here!

Such a beautiful plane lost to the age of ugly.
Bello diseño. La nave más hermosa, el 727. Gracias por compartirlo, JustPlanes!
nice delicious 727s with those juicy JT8Ds
I miss seeing and flying on the 727-200s. Great aircraft.

Delta and American liveries on the B727 were the ultimate.
Beautiful
Never got the chance to fly on the 727 in first. I always wanted to be in the back so I could hear the roar of the engines on take off and landing.
I live on the island so this airport right across from me big A380s be flying over during these days.
B727 was called the Whisper Jet!! :D
TheSolnabo lol i know what you mean right lol
TheSolnabo Haha, "Whisper Jet".......
TheSolnabo I remember going to Mets games at Shea Stadium in the early 90s when they would take off from LGA and fly over. So loud.
wasnt it eastern airlines that dubbed the 727 the whisperjet and the L1011 the whisperliner?
I was there in 1995 and I remember seeing the Twin Towers
So miss this 'ol bird.........there are no other "true" airliners........only the 727.
Great video! Fast action. :)
God bless the 727.
Nice !
I flew on a delta one in 88 from orlando to newark
All I payed attention to was the skyline in the background...
Malaysia 🇲🇾 777: they reached Newark through Dubai, with Waterford goblets in first-class.
Do you have 757 love? That's my favorite of all time!!!
Todas as linhas aereas é do mesmo modelo!
Nice
I miss Continental.
@2:36 mexicana airlines ....is gonna operate again by 2020
I want one in my back yard.
Wow, I like this Plane very well !
I've seen it last in the 70ties in Berlin.
Best regards
HaJo
i like the 727's too i think they should of kept them in service longer made upgrades to keep them on my fsx i wont retire them
I wanted to give a like to this video. But whoever has made it has focussed very-little on the high and beautiful tails. It was stupid to ignore the tails, which were gorgeous.

OH okay.
Also Kalitta has another few
where did malasyia airlines terminated EWR? Wondering why
why i want to know that to

Anyone know the typical range of a 727? Are many still in operation? I rarely see them here in Europe :(
Sure. It depends on the series -100, -200, -200 with advanced engines and if they have aux tanks, etc. but the range goes from about 1,500Nm to as much as 3,000+Nm. I've flown all the 727 series, and there can be quite a difference.

Only thing comes close to the 727 is the 717-200
airlines need to put a couple 727 in back into service...would the public ride on them??? i know i would
who notice the twin towers
