I flew a 727 like this on Aug. 25, 1982 PHL>IAD. It continued on (without me) to IAH and then SDO. Flight 195. The gate guy upgraaded me to first class for the 50 min flight as I was in college!
Hate to burst your bubble, the paint livery was not from the 60s or even the 70s. This is from the mid-late 1980s. The original golden jet had a black meat ball...after Frank Lorenzo bought the airline and took it through bankruptcy, the "New Continental" began using the red meatball.
Remember Juju? CO Air Mikes first 727-100. I was at Chuuk (Truk) airport (4,500 ft crushed coral) when it landed there for the first time in April of 1968. We all got the grand tour. After living in a grass hut we felt like we were entering a flying saucer! Air Mike lost only two aircraft with no loss of life operating under these conditions for two decades. I'll never forget the takeoff's in ground effect, and stopping the landing roll with 200 feet to spare. I salute CO Air Mike!
Ok sweet, you must have a top notch pc, fraps really hits the framerates hard on mine. Oh is this fsx? if so what environment software do you use the clouds look amazing.
hey Jon does this 727 come with those sounds or did you have to download them? and where do you get all your scenery from? anyways Great Video as always!
what i dont like is that you dont have any gear flex or springs so you even if you go smooth it will look hard. if there was more flex it would look smother even if you hit it harder than he did.
I hope HJG works in FSX. You can tell me IF it does not,because I accept the daring truth about HJG.

You gotta love the Continental 727. I recomend the HJG 727-100 in Continental's 60's colors. By the way, where did you get that scenery?

FAIL! The 727 went out of production in 1984 and first rolled out of the Boeing hanger in 1963 or 64.

Isn't the 727 a sleek looking plane? With its T-tail design and sharply angled vertical stabilizer, it already looks fast on the tarmac. :D
