My First Airliner I started working on as a A&P, was my class commercial training plane to for TWA. Then later was working on them for Northwest and then US Air / US Airways. The 727 had the speed wing, more of a slant sweep wing angle then others in her class competitors. I remember one old timer 727 pilot said we always start the APU before the people board as the exhaust on the right wing can scare the heck out of one old lady. The APU had a hot start she thought the plane was on fire as a flame came shooting out of the APU exhaust by the windows on the right side. He said you thought she was a mountain lion as she was going to claw her way out of the plane cabin. The pilot said that he had her seat changed to the other side of the plane. And then the company come out with a new rule of starting the APU before PAX where allowed on the plane the next day....lol.

Where I live in Michigan, 2 of Detroits cargo hubs have 727 traffic. I’m very thankful to have not one, but two airlines operating the type in the area. Pontiac Airport is home to IFL Group which operates 3 727-200s, one which flew for ANA back in the day. Willow Run used to have so much 727 traffic, but is now down to one airline operating the type, USA Jet. Kalitta Charters II retired their last 727 earlier this year which is why I was happy to see the livery you chose for this video. Sad to see airlines slowly retire the type, but I’m glad some of the older airline liveries are present in the sim. Very in depth review as always Jeff and I have to say it’s my second favorite aircraft of all time. Glad to see it replicated here!
