What a great plane. Nice vid. I remember watching these takeoff when I was a kid. Back in the day you could park near 1L/1R at SFO and these puppies would shake your car. Awesome. I hadn't seen any in awhile, then I was at Memphis airport for awhile and I got to see the FedEx 727s takeoff. The FedEx planes put out a plume of dark exhaust. Brought back a lot of memories, back when flying was fun.
We used to love watching the Delta and Eastern 727's taking off from Daytona Beach when I was at Embry-Riddle back in 1981. Made for an interesting time in math class since the building was located next to the end of the runway. You couldn't hear the teacher for several minutes after the plane had passed. Used to hear these all the time over my house since I grew up under the approach/climb out path(s) of Philly International.
A 727 can fly up to 40,000 feet and a speed of Mach .90 It is also one of the loudest jet planes ever built. A 727 without the "hush kits" can be heard from over 25 miles away
They do sound wonderfull, but they also cost alot to maintain as well as not as fuel effecient, i guess airliners go with the most fuel effecient. Still a fun plane to fly on.
I think your right about the inefficiency and high cost of maintenance. That does make sense considering the Boeing boasts efficiency of the 757 and the new dreamliner. The one thing that sets the 727 apart from other airliners; it's got style. Newer planes are boring because they all look the same.

Yes, it's a damn shame. Gotta get rid of the 727 because a few pussies don't like the noise. No other airliner looks or sounds better than the 727.

Could a 727 fly with only its central engine
running? Could it take off with less than three engines running?
