I will never fly a 727 again.. I thought I was going to have to get out and push last time I was on one... there was nearly no thrust... Even the MD-80/83 seem more powerful... even thought the MD 80 has no T.R.'s . I dont like flying on non TR airframes... heating up the brakes that hot makes me cringe, then all the metallic squealing you have to hear from them afterwards.
@PaganEgyptian MD 80 has TR's - DO YOUR RESEARCH before you spout off about something. I worked on 727's in the 70's 80's and 90's and there was not a better more powerful aircraft of it's size anywhere. The pilots flying your aircraft must have been using reduced power to save fuel. At full power the 727 is a hot rod.
I did these planes at DEE HOWARD , every one of them!! Tay 650 roll royce engines, glass cockpits fly it 50ft off the ground and saves gas, all day long.
This 727 has actually been re-engined with Rolls Royce Tay turbofans in place of the normal Pratt & Whitney JT8Ds, which are much, much louder than the Tays on this one...
well yeah but besides that they are both t-tail planes and they are both long and skinny and have shorter wings that are closer to the back and have engines in the back
Sadly,UPS has since retired all of its 727 fleet,having replaced them with Boeing 757PFs

why can't they reengine all of the 727's so we can still see this old bird in service?
