M.I.B. 39 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 After spending the last 25 years under restoration, the first 727 that took to the skies is about to fly again, for the last time, to the Museum of Flight, where it will be put on permanent display. Read the whole story right here (I mean here). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks for sharing. The 727 is one of my favorite commercial airliners and by far the best looking. I think they ought to fly it around the country for a farewell tour before it goes in a museum. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I like the paint job they put on it, the aircraft IMO has great lines and is one of the nicest looking passenger jets made. Glad it's getting a nice home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have to agree with all the above. The 727 is a real Classic, it just looks the business, the real deal and rightly deserves it's place in the museum. I have flown in a few so :hat:to the 727. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't have many hours in my virtual Captain Sim 727... But it is a delight to fly. & I wish I could see them flying about still today. I never had the pleasure to fly in one, the 707 was my first jet passenger plane ride.
