Long & Heavy Iran Aseman 727 Takeoff Iran Aseman Airlines Tehran Mehrabad Boeing 727 Classic EP-ASA

[@albertoportoalegre5391]

Bruce Dickinson would say: " Scream to me 727 !!! " . How I miss those times when airplaines sound like airplaines !

[@flyinghow]

Almost a minute long takeoff roll! LOVE IT. It always cracked me up how 727s were designed for short runway takeoffs yet they used virtually the whole runway and lumbered off the ground in a slow climb. Still, it is my favorite AC of all time! Excellent vid!

[@danielcostello7170]

Don't they have de-rated take off procedures like other airliners? In that regard they are programmed to use most of the runway to save wear and fuel. In other words they would've applied more power and taken off sooner with a shorter runway.

[@backpackerthrulife8497]

Incredibly advanced for an airplane designed only about 20 years after WW2. That always amazes me.

[@JeffreyGold]

I agree. My favorite plane ever. To take the engines off the wings and on the back and the horizontal stabilizer on top was real out-of-the-box thinking.

[@recoswell]

we went to the moon 20 years after ww2 so not really

[@gop4usa12]

Amazing innovations happen when the government takes it's foot off the throat of America's economy. The 707s and 727s were true marvels for their time. And in that short period of time between WW2 and the launch of the 727, America didn't see a conga line of politicians trying to run everyone's lives. If today's government was in place during the 50s, there would be no 727.

[@jeffkirsten7009]

I miss that sound of a 727 spooling up to takeoff power. A secure and familiar feeling of being pulled back into your seat as it starts rolling down the runway. Thanks for the post!

[@Sydsquad]

Definitely Jeff! It certainly was an amazing trip of a lifetime for someone in my generation where 727's are super super rare!

[@CMFL77]

Now I'm going from plane videos to looking into videos of what Iran is really like - not what media outlets show, the actual country..its layout...its people. Great video!

[@kyotokid4]

..flew on 727 s many a time in my day.-100s and -200s on many different airlines including American, Braniff, Continental, Delta Northwest, TWA, United and even Lufthansa. My last flight on one was in January of 2001 on a -200 for Northwest from MKE to DTW. (shortly before the airline retired the type in favour of the A-320). Long takeoff roll as well since we were fully loaded. Always loved sitting behind the wing to watch it "disassemble" for landing.

[@peterleiza4351]

Gotta love the pratt & whitney roar.. 727 is always my favorite

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

I Love The 727's wing . . .Ive seen this view as a passenger many times in my 41 Years!

[@AhmadDanHamidu]

Yup, same here. I used to ride 727-200s of Eastern Airlines Shuttle and Trump Shuttle between LaGuardia (NewYork) and Reagan National (Maryland/Wash. DC) way back in the early to mid 1980s.

[@Coaljet]

Probably more complexity than the airplane needed, but man, is it ever cool to look at. Almost like a mini-747 wing. Same trailing edge flap layout.

[@michaelo1929]

WPLU572 Trunked Radio They were still used extensively in the early 1990s. Last time I flew on one was the early 2000s not long before they started to noticeably disappear.

[@Apolloskouros]

Coaljet The 747 adapted it’s scaled up trailing edge system directly from the 727 because it was so successful and reliable. The 737 has a scaled down version of the same system.

[@ESP351]

@@Coaljet Wing technology of its time to give it its short field takeoff and landing performance.

[@Crosshead1]

I reckon the 727 has the most amazing flaps of any commercial airliner. I flew in the 727 many times in Australia in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I always tried to get a window seat behind the wing to watch the flaps, especially during landing. Great video. Thank you.

[@ESP351]

Like the old saying goes if it looked good it flew good.I had the opportunity to fly in the Ansett 727s in the 80s and Australian Airlines in the early 90s and they were fantasic to fly in.An Australian 727 did a low pass at the Avalon Airshow in 1992 and i just thought what a machine.

[@aradfathi3727]

[@weltervalenzuela7923]

No airplane of the new ones sound so amazingly like 727 and Dc9 during take off moment. I miss that sound so bad

[@Sydsquad]

Me too mate, its sad the fact the 727 is so rare nowadays!

[@kcmo1992]

Old is gold!

[@michaelo1929]

The 727 was able to fly out of anywhere. They flew in and out of Denver with Continental and United. It is a proven workhorse. High density altitude? No problem.

[@AirShark95]

I remeber flying in a First Air 727 out to Canada's far North to airports like Nanasivik and Resolute Bay. Gravel runways to be exact. The 727 really could take you anywhere.

[@gerardmoran9560]

The 727 was a great airplane! I spent my first 7 years at Delta flying it. A bit under-powered by modern standards but it had a thin sweptback wing and was faster than most contemporary jets. This takeoff reminds me of a hot day in Denver, Colorado, US. It had great high lift technology but it still was a ground gripper when heavy under hot/high field conditions. Once you got it cleaned up it was fine. I miss it.

[@tomtalker2000]

What a great jet these were. I miss them very much.

[@Sydsquad]

Me too! Im glad you enjoyed the old video!

[@stratus262j2]

There is nothing unusual about this takeoff. I've witnessed this same view hundreds of times as a passenger myself. My first ride on a 727 was around 1965 on a UAL 727-100 ( The original short one ) from NY to New Orleans. Impressed by the initial rate of climb after takeoff and quiet smooth ride. I fell in love with this jet at first flight.

[@paulstewart2ndchannel]

That spool-up sounds amazing!

[@russellion31]

When I was a kid, we flew Pan Am to Switzerland through JFK. We took a 727-200 on our return flight home from JFK to IAH. I remember we started the takeoff at the end of 13R and didn't lift off until the 1000 footers for 4L. The ground roll must have been around 8000-9000 feet and lasted at least a minute if not longer. I flew on many 727's in my life, but for some reason always remembered that takeoff in particular. In my opinion, the long takeoff rolls, loud engines and black smoke trailing out the back is what made flying so appealing to me when I was a child. By the time I made it to the airlines, they were all the eco-friendly, organic, gluten free jets they have in service today.

[@Manaritzis88]

thats a monster airport

[@MagnumMike44]

Most airlines around the world have retired their 727s, when I checked Aseman Airlines fleet on Wikipedia, it looks like they stopped operating 727s in January of 2019, so it's amazing to see a video of one still flying up until early last year, Also being that this aircraft is operated by an Iranian airline, with the trade restrictions the United States has with Iran, I wonder where they were getting their spare parts from.

[@CodiganKelly1983]

I had forgotten that the 727 sounded like the MD80s when they took off. Been over 20 years since I was last on one. I miss the 727 and 757.

[@Sydsquad]

I miss them too mate!

[@rs1020]

air is thin in Tehran so higher speed is needed for take off

[@jarekjellison817]

World's longest takeoff run right here! Never seen nor experienced anything longer. I wish I could fly on older jets. Sure, the new generation of jetliners are more comfortable and quiet, but they are absolutely boring as hell.

[@Coaljet]

The character has been designed out of them. It's nothing but a brute numbers game nowadays.

[@nicholasramsey5331]

I don't know about the newer planes being more comfortable with those seats in coach being so incredibly small and close together. I've noticed how the seats have shrunk in size over the years.

[@davidhildebrand8894]

You’re absolutely right. These new ones are pooped out of spreadsheets. Pride in hand built and hand designed has gone away. The 727 is the BEST plane Boeing ever built. The icing on the cake is the Pratt and Whitney JT-8 engines. I will forever hold the 727 as my favorite!

[@seanm9483]

This is like going through a time warp. Nice JT8D buzz and the dual ailerons, the outboard ones only moved when there was some flap/slat applied. Yea that is a long takeoff roll, not like a new 737 with CFM56 engines!

[@Sydsquad]

Haha yeah definitely mate!

[@lindsayrandall5488]

In the late 1960s-until mid 70s I flew between Sydney and Melbourne monthly and had no choice of 727 or DC9 so each time you cracked a 727 it was like winning the lottery, beautiful plane!!!

Super long takeoff for a very short flight. Tehran to Mashhad is about 500 miles, and Tehran is about 3300 feet in elevation and in a very hot climate making it a "hot and high" airfield. Probably not a very heavy takeoff, but definitely hot and high, and the 727 is famous for its very long takeoffs.

[@Sydsquad]

ecoRfan In fact, the weather was quite cool and takeoff was around 7am that day so heat wouldn't have played too much part for this particular departure. Maybe the pilots were just showing off haha

People always talk about the long take off role of the 727. Why beat the hell out of the engines if you don't need to. Plus full conservation. Can they get up sooner? Hell yes they can! If you have a long runway. Use it to your advantage.

[@dyanavednatta168]

Beautiful Take off Malik Waheed Islamabad Pakistan

[@JoshuaWestbrook]

Always wondered what the loud bang was at takeoff. Everytime I rode on one just at liftoff, bang from the rear

[@graemewilliams1308]

If you track the centerline & rotate the 727 on it, the nose wheel can hit a runway light or rough surface & compresses the nose gear oleo just as the pilot lifts the nose and then the oleo rebounds to full extension when the wheels leave the runway prior to retraction, causing a bang.

[@emanuelourencooo]

Bang from the rear = Landing gear wheel off the ground ;) It's own weight at liftoff causes the "bang"

[@graemewilliams1308]

Sometimes it's an unlocked food trolley rolling out of stowage & crashing into opposite galley. LOL.

[@davidhildebrand8894]

It’s the main landing gear struts bottoming out after breaking ground. Loved hearing that. Ear candy :D

[@robertvanmeter9040]

Notice the inboard and outboard ailerons, wing spoilers, and the fowler flaps. Wing sweep is 40 degrees. Wingtips cannot be seen from the cockpit. The flight engineer sits sideways. Three other sideways seats on the aircraft are toilets. The long takeoff roll is due to high density altitude and gross weight. Temps are usually well over 110 degrees in Dubai.

Why retract the wing ailerons on takeoff? seems unusual to see this, they should be retracted AFTER level flight not BEFORE, with fuel and passengers aboard obviously dangerous.

Iran being embargoed, it must be difficult for them to source parts for these machines. I think they are doing flex take-offs all the time. These ailerons look dodgy to me. For some reason, it's compensated left. If they clean this plane, it would look less scary!
