I was a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines in the 1980's and 1990's and we got 6 Boeing 727 -200's from defunct Braniff International Airways to fly our new West Coast routes out of HOU. I loved flying on these aircraft. It was especially fun sitting in the aft jump seat attached to the tail exit door and watching the long fuselage bend up and down on take off.
What a great airplane. I helped mod some of these back in the late 80's, early 90's with 200 series engines, two-man cockpit, etc, mostly to lure the airlines to keep the airplane around, but it didn't work. Stage II was implemented, and Stage III was on its way, so noise was still an issue, at least in night hours, and in Europe. Good ol' three holer. Boeing had the right stuff then.
Still one of the best looking and safest airliners built. This one ( now scrapped you say ?) had a fantastic livery and winglets too ! I read somewhere that Peter is in hot water right now. That was a good catch Cameron.
I have over 12,000 hours in the old three holer, my absolute favorite airplane to fly. As I watch this video, I am reminded by that gorgeous design which is timeless and looks better than the junk they're turning out now.
+Milan Cruz (PanAm747) Drivel. That's a series 100 with dash 17 or even dash 10 JT-8s That's a seriously over-powered machine and fantastically airworthy. Try to learn from triplanelover.
+triplanelover I was a wrenchbender and hoping to be a loadmaster on the "2-7", and agree, top tier A-1 aircraft. I worked on FedEx and Morningstar Express aircraft before going on the 310. VERY forgiving airplane, you could MEL everything and it was all flaps! Loved it!
TriPlaner-Maybe you can answer a question for me. I had 330,000 on Western Airlines with another 160,000 onto the combined account with Delta. I don't know if the Tri-Star was the only triple or if DA had the 727 before they inherited a bundle from WA, but if you flew Western it was the 737-200 or the 727-200 and if you got lucky the DC-10. I didn't care for the fireplug 37 , but I loved the late night half empty take offs in the 727, they could pin you to the seat which I loved. I flew on Easterns 727s and it was a very different experience the takeoffs were so shallow, for a minute or two you thought you might be going down. It was that way every time and believe me these aircraft were not loaded, it was after they began hubbing in Kansas City. Do you have any idea why their climb outs were so shallow?
the takeoff is not crazy. this plane was specifically built for short haul flights and short runways flying from city to city in America. their ability to be airborne quickly is one of the reasons why a lot of airlines including Panam had them back in the days.
The wow-what beautiful jet plane, I remember flying them from Jax to Cle in the late 60s when I was in the Navy. I especially remember the stewardess announces "You are flying Easterns non-stop whisperjet service from Jacksonsville to Cleveland" or vice versa just before take off, It did not seem any quiter than any other commerical jet airliner then, but probley since I alway went military standby then, I would always alway somehow managed to have a seat next to an engine in the backend but it was always good to be going home!
I used to fly to Yellowstone with my grandfather in the 1980's I remember we would fly to Denver then on to a 727 always bumpy from thunderstorms see this tiny runway cut out in dense forest around it. The 727 would approach high with it's speed brakes drop right down on the runway like a duck landing in a tiny pond. When we take off it was steep just like in this video I miss the 727 for it's size was 3 big engines lot of power. I can't remember the airline maybe Delta.
I was there that day too, I thought the plane was very interesting when I got home I researched the name and found a lot of interesting things. I saw it land by didn't get a chance to see the take off. The other plane the silver twin was a Lockheed Electra I think.
727-100 series with 200 series engines plus circuit fuel (6 tons) minus all passengers = STOL. ! S Borden : Maybe # 2 reverser locked out inoperative ?
Graeme Williams Engines number one and three are the engines seen on the MD-80s, most likely something like JT8D-200+ whilst engine number 2 remains the classic, possibly, JT8D-9.. On the number 2 engine the thrust reverser clamshells operate internally rather than externally so you cant see them when they are activated.
+tom211t Looks like someone already corrected your statement. I helped mod some of these, and indeed, the #2 TR is completely removed. The #1 and #3 engines were 200 series, and in some, #2 engine was a -15.
Eric Slifkin I think it's got less than full fuel and not much load on. Thrust to weight is very good. Notice also that he pulls up to a pretty high departure angle. I think the reason is he's trying to hold and manage the airspeed, while the gear is coming up and before the flaps and stuff are clean. Once he's got it clean, he lets the nose drop a bit and starts to let it accelerate. Want to see an impressive departure? I play with FlightGear simulator, on the computer. Select a 777 200LR, choose no passengers or load, min fuel, and firewall it. It rolls and rotates and climbs out like a fighter.
+Eric Slifkin The Super 727 with two JT8D-217 or 219s has a 20% shorter take off roll than a 727-200. In a lightly loaded executive configuration, the take off roll can be very short. www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/2001/2001%20-%202632.html
if that was a typicle airport that was a rotate in 2500ft! Lightly loaded with uprated Royles engines I did not see much flaps but full leading edge set.
+Guest0072 Peter J. Nygård is a Finnish-Canadian executive, founder and chairman of Nygård International. He was rated the 70th richest Canadian by Canadian Business Magazine in 2009 with a net worth of $817 million. Wikipedia
Watch a normal 727-200 takeoff and you will see. This -100 has more power than the standard -200 because the #1 and 3 engines are replaced with stronger versions AND it has winglets. Short flight plus all that= less than 3000 foot takeoff roll(typically a 727 takes almost 8000 feet).
+TWTR4EVER nope, that's not what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is, most people don't like just giving money away. If someone is extremely rich, how do you separate him from his money? Get him to spend it, preferably on something that occupies a lot of people. If that is called wasting money, so be it. If it is showing off, so what? A lot of the old great works of art were created because some people wanted to show off! I'm sure a lot more crap was also created but discarded long ago...

the takeoff is not crazy. this plane was specifically built for short haul flights and short runways flying from city to city in America. their ability to be airborne quickly is one of the reasons why a lot of airlines including Panam had them back in the days.
But this is like... really short, even for a 727. Nothing in widespread service now could achieve the takeoff in this video.
Thats a lot of pitch for an airliner, my dear.
I work at an airport in Jordan, and im actually looking at this aircraft right now. Believe me, it looks amazing
Peter is in really big trouble! Looks like the world is going to find out about you and all of your friends soon enough!
Short -100 series body + JT8D-217 series engines on 1 and 3 = the hottest of hot-rod 727’s
Agreed, not a pilot but,to me the most beautiful design Boeing ever produced! Flown on them a few times as a kid!👍
Now that's a rare catch! Awesome video of this classic.
What a beautiful machine, great livery, looks immaculate ❤

My heart vibrates every time I watch this.
Perfect video! Gotta love the 727.
Lovely footage, I'm really glad to see thats oldie birds, pure and massive flying machines.....and crews. thank you for your sharing
lookin' good with that high-performance climb-out !
Good looking old bird. Like that Beech 18 @ 2:37 as well😀
Beautiful airplane! Never seen chrome plated thrust reverse's before. Right wing landing light needs replacement though!
Nineteen seconds. Pretty damn good !! It's obviously lightly loaded. It's good to still see a B727.

I used to fly to Yellowstone with my grandfather in the 1980's I remember we would fly to Denver then on to a 727 always bumpy from thunderstorms see this tiny runway cut out in dense forest around it.

When we take off it was steep just like in this video I miss the 727 for it's size was 3 big engines lot of power. I can't remember the airline maybe Delta.
Engines look crazy large on this short -100.
Wow, what a beautiful 727! Here's an owner who clearly has an eye for aviation history.
And under age girls!
He’s also a sick
Pervert
I had NO IDEA they would use a 727-100 as a Valsan retrofit. Wow. Center engine: JT-9-7. Outboards? JT-9-219!!!! That is a WHOLE bunch of thrust!!!!
The engines are JT8Ds actually.
Amazing catch mate!!! :D
Impressive take off by this awesome 727! :)
A very-beautiful video of a superb airplane.
Nice video of this rare plane!
I was there that day too, I thought the plane was very interesting when I got home I researched the name and found a lot of interesting things. I saw it land by didn't get a chance to see the take off. The other plane the silver twin was a Lockheed Electra I think.
The silver twin is actually a Beech 18 expeditor
Where was the "crazy" in that takeoff?
How is the engine on the top working ??? The engine is up up here and the exhaust is underneath ?? Like curved ?
The engines are level with each other.You just see the intake for the middle engine on top.
I live in Renton, where the 737 is built. They often take off this steep because they're empty, it's not a "stunt" or anything.
Cameronmd80, why the aircraft landing and make a taxi, but immediately run to the runway and takeoff?
Damn that was a short takeoff roll! wow......
Nice video
saw the plane parked at LAX a few weeks ago, for a old bird it's very nice.
I didn’t know the engines were not all the same on the 727-100 !

+tom211t #2 actually has the reverser removed on the Valsan / Super 27 conversions with the JT8D-200 series engines for #1 and #3.

a job well done to the guy that does the bright work on this thing....
what a goegeous plane!
Love that they're still so loud and is it me or did she get off the ground really fast? Anyone?

It's beautiful aircraft 👍❤️
Looks like reversers are only on #1 and #3 engines on this variant.
It's an MD80 engine conversion.
The middle engine has internal reversers.
merc340sr: Most likely a wing conversion. Those models weren't equipped with those.
Was that the "Ferrari takeoff" technique used for short runways?
+Raphael Web It's power Raphael. The short series 100 body, standard wing and P+W JT-8-19 upgrades for motors makes for a quick take-off.
Great vid!!!
*Ingenious!*
Don't 272s risk deep stalling at such a steep climb?
I think you'd only worry bout deep stalls on landing.
If it's weight configuration is way below MTOW, then it's really not a big problem.
@@terryboyer1342 U don't know much
@@TheTimeDetective42 Do too pyramid boy.
fast rotation!
Amazing video!
La nave más bella!

what was the crazy part?
She looks light as a feather on take off.
What was CRAZY ? Never seen a light a/c taking off before ?
they were designed to operate from/to short runways.
Seemed like a short takeoff roll.
I'll settle for the twin Beech model 18!
I was waiting for someone to mention that. I agree!
Why was it a "crazy" takeoff? I hate people who exaggerate just to get views.
Waste of my time as well.
Short takeoff I guess.
It was a very steep departure, a regular airline would never pull a stunt like that!

Why do people filming always have to zoom in??? It takes away the whole point of watching a steep climb out? 👎👎
I’ve got about 1,000 hours in THAT airplane.
Beauty.
a 727 with winglets is not very common.
whats so crazy bout it?
what a beauty
It got up to speed quick.
Straight up!
very nice plane
GRACIAS AMIGO
The 727 just looks fast
Very nice...
Super short field.
ahhh yea..Good old Peter ..fashion king from Winnipeg Canada...rich and mysterious guy...likes his fashions..the toys and the ladies.
dont forget the under aged girls from south america
Great Airliner!!
What is crazy about that?
Canadian fashion designer all that plane has a stripper pole inside
What's so crazy about this take off ??
JJJJJJaaaaaaa Excellent
Crazy normal takeoff?
That's interior of this 727 is full of mirrors
Looked about normal to me. I have seen a lot steeper that never raised an eyebrow.
wow, that look crazy take off...😂😂😂
I'm waiting for the crazy part.
Best part at 05:29
What was crazy
what is so ''crazy'' abt his takeoff ?? enlighten me, pls
Watch a normal 727-200 takeoff and you will see.
This -100 has more power than the standard -200 because the #1 and 3 engines are replaced with stronger versions AND it has winglets. Short flight plus all that= less than 3000 foot takeoff roll(typically a 727 takes almost 8000 feet).
And so we all are still waiting for the CRAZY TAKE OFF
probably doing a drugs drop and then off for more.
More like a human trafficking drop off and pick up.
It must climb like a bat outta hell!
sexy! we have a retired super 27 at Mather
Very loud!
