God, how I miss these beautiful birds. They used to be everywhere, you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting one, and now they’re almost extinct. It makes me feel old. Please, more 727’s 'JustPlanes'.

[@delten-eleven1910]

I grew up near LAX and flew often and it seemed every airline that flew into LAX operated the beautiful 727.

[@stevenkalur2561]

So true.....is there anything more graceful than these sleek beasts?

[@restoredignitytoUSA]

I so agree. Loved these dirty girls!

[@incyphe]

love the metallic AA livery. so vintage!

[@mrbyzantine0528]

@Robert Hall The longest lasting of the airline, from the late 60's (68 I believe) right up till the merger in 2015. Silver Eagle was a shining star of good design.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

@Robert Hall AA started painting aircraft in 2013 with their 787 order as they wanted the fleet to match... and the 787's composite makeup meant the "bare metal look" was impossible. They left the MD-80 series in the bare metal livery in anticipation of upcoming retirement... just made sense financially. However, they've been painting the tails for years to keep livery uniformity with the A-300s as those have composite tails.

[@AllThingsFlightSim]

[@fernando13e]

Astrojet Livery was even better

[@curtisemmett6581]

I guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@canadianplanespotter]

This is marvellous... So many liveries lost in time! Like a 21-year- old time capsule. Loved the Northwest clips, and obviously the glorious JT8D sound :)

[@thereallincolntakanashi]

Canadian Plane Spotter I thought the JT8D was only on the 737-200?

[@canadianplanespotter]

@@thereallincolntakanashi Not exclusively the 732, the MD-80 family also uses it

[@davidhildebrand8894]

Back when Boeing made quality aircraft. I miss the 727 so much, and would give anything to fly on one again! Grew up on USAir 727s. If I had more money than brains, I would have one!

[@lylegeorge5835]

😅😅

[@video1974]

I LOVE and miss the 'ol 727. No matter what angle you saw it at, it was the poster child of what an airliner should look like.

[@stevenkalur2561]

Hell yes. Never a more beautiful airframe

[@tomtalker2000]

These, the 707, & MD80 series of jets were the TRUE ROCKETS of commercial aviation. They sure didn't sound like the jets of today with "hush kits" and other modern technology. You seriously thought a NASA rocket was taking off folks. And i loved every bit of it.

I flew on a 727-200 from San Diego to San Francisco back in 1979, and man what a flight! That flight was nice , smooth and faaaast!!

[@brimopm]

I flew the 727 for NWA, realized it was a special aircraft in history but forgot how cool looking the tri-jet design was, especially during takeoff and landings. Thanks for the memories!

[@G-Jet92]

The 727 is my favorite aircraft of all time 😁👍

[@markydee48]

I had my favorites such as the L1011 and 757, but nothing fascinated me more than a 727. Such a sleek design. Growing up near JFK, those birds were loud but awesome looking. I flew on several Pan Ams, TWA, and Eastern in my young days. Even got to fly on a Piedmont 727. But probably one of my favorites was on Iberia when on several occasions while I visited my family in Spain, the rear stairway was used to board or disembark since many airports lacked air bridges in the 1970s and 80s.

[@smesui1799]

Still amazes to this day. A proud bird ! Well done Boeing, back in the 1960's. Far exceeded sll expectations.

[@delten-eleven1910]

From a plane enthusiasts point of view, The 727 was a beautiful design and if you liked jet noise, three JT8D-15 at full power was like military jet loud.

[@seeburg220]

I just found my favorite video on youtube. Love the 727! My favorite here was the TWA departure when it's retracting the gear, and also, the Mexicana when it swings its' nose right towards the camera. Such a beautiful jet.

[@justplanes]

Totally agree... Love the 727 and it was a fantastic airplane!

[@AndreiTupolev]

That takeoff scene at 0:45 is awesome! Like the opening scene of a movie

Great Aircraft. In1996 flew the Miami Air 727, COS- DTW-Can't remember if it was Gander or Goose Bay, but one of em, Dublin and on to Stuttgart. Wasn't full so had a whole row to myself. Luckily they opened the Guiness kiosk for us at 0600 and it was a hearty breakfast!

A 727-200 is currently under development for MSFS 2020. It will be a study level model. I can hardly wait. I hope they will also make the -100 (which I like the best).

@@mrbyzantine0528 UPS helped prolong the life of the 747 with a large order of 747-8 freighters not to long ago. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall and it's probably a reasonable assumption that the 747 will cease production in the not to distant future as airlines are favoring more economical frames for their fleets.

...same here (first flight on a jet), but a -100 from Chicago to New York in the 60s when they still had the classic "Astrojet" livery. I was seated just behind the wing and was amazed at seeing those huge triple lot flaps extend for landing.

[@ELPJM09]

The good old days when you had a huge variety of classic aircraft like 727, L1011, DC-10 etc flying. Nowadays it’s boring, all we have is mostly Boeing and Airbus. Computers, iPads in the cockpit, quiet restrictions with no soul.

[@bcshelby4926]

...yeah plane spotting back in the 60s and 70s was far more enjoyable. Caravelles, 707s, 720s, 727s, DC-8s (standard and stretch) Convair 880s/990s and the somewhat rare but beautiful BOAC VC-10 as well as the widebodies. Where I live (PDX) it's now pretty much just 737s, Airbus 320s, and RJs. About the only big ones we get anymore are DC-10Fs, MD-11Fs, and 767Fs for DHL, FedEx, and UPS and until February 2022, an occasional AN-124 for Volga-Dnepr.

[@jamessanders145]

If boeing put leap engines on the 727,

[@bcshelby4926]

...they would have needed to redesign the entire tail area to accommodate the larger diameter engines. Even if they could have upgraded it with CFM 56s, what contributed to its demise was the old analogue flight deck and 3 person crew requirement By the time the 737NG entered into service, the 727 had depreciated in value to the point that such a refit (including a full glass flight deck) would have cost more than what the aeroplane was worth and by then twin jets were taking over its market.
