Worked for Airlift International part time while in the Air Force in Japan. Had 2 B-727-100s based there. Worked them hard and they did the job. Great airplane.

God bless us and filled us with God spirit. Thank God

They were really impressive for short field capabilities, at least the 100 version. When La Guardia was under construction for the over water runway extensions of 1000 feet I went in and out and saw the impressive performance. Likewise at Funchal Maderia, Portugal in the late 1960s the runway was 5000' or so which made for very abrupt landings and takeoffs by TAP only.

God created us I want your soul go to heaven. Think good, speak good and do good always in your life coz it is your own body or soul. Thanks God for the gifts of wisdom I'm sharing with you all.

[@encinobalboa]

I remember riding in a flaps 40 landing into Oakland. It was straight down until power just before landing.

[@jonathanharootunian297]
