This Toledo native really enjoyed that! The sounds were fantastic. I have always been a 727 fan and wish that the airlines still continued to fly them. But the realities of a dwindling and ever-more-expensive fuel supply being what they are, well, what can I say?
I rode on a United 727 on the way home from leave from Ft. Huachuca in December 1999. That may have been one of that company's last 727 flights. It was lightly-loaded, so a stewardess invited me to sit farther forward and away from the engine noise in the rear. Those aren't turbojets, but they resemble turbojets more than they resemble today's high-bypass turbofans.
I agree ,thats the way a jet is supposed to be LOUD! if the environmentalist and people didnt like the noise,especially folks living near the airport,to bad! i loved the 727/737-200,miss them,todays jets are nice but most to quiet
Man, I couldn't agree with you MORE! What a tragedy that the 727 is gone. I HATE all of those tacky & UGLY MD-80 s They suck. The 727 was a groundbreaking aircraft! The workhorse of the industry. I miss is So much too !
@SuperDreamliner787 The MD-80 is TOO overstretxhed & droopy looking. I hate how long the fuselage is, and the nose droops down in front. The nosegear looks like it's too small. Plus: have you ever flown on an MD-80? VERY uncomfortable & cramped. It doesn't take turbulance very well either.
@tonyde52 They do look horribly overstreched from the wing foreward, but honestly though,outside of being pretty noisy in the aft cabin area,I have to say that they do fly impressively well. I've had several 4+ hour flights on them, and they really seem to move well. I never had the good fortune to fly on a B727 , but the A&P school I went to had one for demonstration and lessons, and I liked the interior, it was the 2nd 727 made and it was pretty old.

I miss the roar of those P&W JT's. My first flight was in a 727 from Midland, TX to El Paso. I was 11 y.o. and one seat up from the port turbine intake. It was a true "sens-around" departure.
@marshalllucky its not a dc-10 because a dc-10 has two engines on the wings and one on the tail, a 727 has all the engines on the tail, but i can sort of see how people can get the two mixed up
I've encountered many old planes taking off, including the DC-9, VC-10, Boeing 707, the 727, BAC 1-11, CV-880,...
I'd say that the loudest airplanes taking off would be the VC-10s and BAC 1-11s. Just go on YouTube, turn up the volume and watch those planes taking off. The 727 is certainly among the loudest, but NOT the loudest.
Thats a farewell to my generation, We drove V-8, Listened true good rock bands, went to the moon and flew 727's., a plane whose engines were almost for a jet fighter.. .BTW...the belly of the 727 always reminds me the p51 belly.
theres one of those parked on the side of logan airport all alone.its sad to see such a beauty like that practically abandoned.the best part is that i actually got to c it take off and it seemed as though its beautiful sound would make pansy 737s melt
BAC 111 was noisier, I think!. Hushkit's were actrually fitted on those babies, when flying into heavily residentially surrounded airports. Use to work on the B7272 as a F/A back in the day. Still think the old DC9 was noisier from inside the cabin. But, yowza!! what great memories of that forgiving old lady.
@joelratliff Not only that, this one has hush-kits. Even this kind of loud is nothing compared to the 727s I used to hear at Lambert Field in the 1990s....no hush kits whatsoever. It was a deafening noise that I would gladly expose my eardrums to.
no, the B727 went out of production around 1984 or so...last ones configured for freight , mostly for FedEX.....They are still flying worldwide, but in the US they have been hush kitted. Have flown 707, 727, DC8 all series, 747 ...the 727 was my favorite.
Ahhh Listen to those Engines Roar. Love that 727 at takeoff

I can tell that this plane had an unusually heavy load, judging from the time it took the plane to get off the ground after the nose lifted off.
