    Wow, that brought back memories. got to fly all 3 seats in the 100's and 200's. Favorite flyin' job ever !
  • Flew the seven two in all three seats. New hire engineer school was very intense. I knew that jet better than any other I flew

    Thank you for posting. The 727 is such a cool aircraft, there's still a few in service.

    Learned a lot on the 727, performed K and B chks; engine and gear changes, everything is manually operated just an awesome plane

    Wonderful to see all the steam gauges!

    Thank you very much! It is really a wonder to find materials for this old plane! It is precious history.

    My favorite. I fueled them in the 80s and 90s. Delta trained us on transferring fuel. They could not be pushed off the gate empty without ballast fuel. We would load 4000 each wing and 13000 in the center. If it had more than 4000 in each wing we would transfer to the center. It would sit on its tail if not for ballast fuel. Thats why the rear stairs were always down. A great workhorse!

    Why didn't you go all the way to captain? Also awesome video! Will never have the opportunity to fly this plane, but it sure as heck was cool hearing a Kalitta Air 727 and her JT's screaming through the mid-night sky over my house one time!

    I flew in one a few times New York to Orlando in the 90's
