Classic Boeing 727-21 Engine Start & Departure at VNY (VP-BAP)

[@christinaharrison4029]

I love 727 s. So kool

[@EdsHead]

The plane looks to be in fantastic condition. That sound too! My first commercial flight was on a United 727 in 1994. I'll never forget it.

[@Coaljet]

The Short 727s with winglets look awesome. Great vid.

[@Coaljet]

Also, the polished nozzles sure look sweet!

[@samdedman7557]

SUCH a good looking aircraft

[@mr.sir.]

That's the best video quality I've seen on KZbin ngl

[@AbhijitPaul_]

Beautiful bird. Love that sound. Its like music

[@colinboone9920]

What a sight!

[@scottmajor2620]

Awesome. My favorite plane looking great. Thx

[@DezRosswess]

Always a sight and sound to behold! Wish there was more active in Europe.

[@rodhr6345]

Fantastic! That sound!

[@encinobalboa]

Saw VP-BAP departing Van Nuys this morning (Oct-1-22). She took off to the south, made a lazy 180 degree left climbing left turn to the north. She looked immaculate as ever.

[@hman455]

I’m watching it land in ottawa as it’s destination!

[@hman455]

Do you know why it’s flying to Ottawa?

[@encinobalboa]

@@hman455 Very cool! Just had a look at Flightaware. FL370 en route with top speed of 604 mph.

[@encinobalboa]

@@hman455 Kings are not playing the Senators so not the team plane, lol.

[@hman455]

@@encinobalboa I believe it was making a fuel stop, it flew on to Morocco 🇲🇦 after

[@madam757]

Forever a beauty!

[@Sim19yul]

Awesome!

[@JakesAviation]

Amazing close up video!! :D

[@sarahivsutterb747]

If the Boeing 747 is the one and only Queen of the Sky - the Boeing 727 is the one and only Princess of the Sky and both of them are so fascinating, awesome, fantastic, wonderful and so majestic to see! I love them both so very much ✈️😍✈️😍✈️😍✈️😍✈️😍 Lovely greetings from Sarah and have a wonderful day and stay safe out there and take care of you all the time 🙋💖🙋💖🙋💖🙋💖🙋💖

[@Kaktus965]

Any relation to Joe Sutter? He was a legend 👍

[@waynestruckshorts]

Nice!!

[@wardogies]

2 MD-80 engines on it

[@Kaktus965]

Yes sir, -219’s 👍👍

[@roaringskiesstudios9453]

Amazing catch. When was this shot?

[@Duderocks5539]

The only thing I don’t like is those dumb JT8D-200s. They are quite compared to the original -1 through -17 engines even when hush kitted. The JT8D-200s are Stage III noise from factory and don’t need hush kits before anyone asks.

[@gabaquino]

They had it repainted?

[@QuickBurn70]

Greenland... explains the long roll, Super 27 conversion or not lol

[@tomdavis8757]

The total thrust of all 3 engines is still less than the new 737's with only 2. IMHO the planes look much sleeker with older engines though as the newer high bypass ratio engines are such a large diameter in front.

[@DaveFzaxx]

Not really. That particular airplane has 2 JT8D-217C engines in the #1 and #3 position, each producing 20,000 lbs of thrust. The number two engine is a JT8D-7B engine that produces 14,500 lbs of thrust, making the total thrust of THAT airplane 54,500 lbs of thrust. A new 737-900 airplane has two CFM56-7B27 engines, each producing 27,300 lbs of thrust, totaling 54,600 lbs of thrust., or a mere 100 lbs more than that 727. However, the MGTOW of that 727 is 176,000 lbs. the MGTOW of a 737-900 is 187,679 lbs. the thrust to weight ratio of the 727 is, therefore, .3097. The 737 is .2909

[@an1473]

Looks a lot better with winglets and with no eyebrows.

[@falconwings]

That's Jonas Brothers bird.

[@brianmcgee115]

Man, still a beautiful bird but she does eat a lot of runway 😂

[@christopherescott6787]

Smoke and noise.......That kids is a REAL aircraft. Not the glorified vacuums we have now.

[@boeingboeing230]

He began taxi without switch taxi lights. It is prohibited!
