Advanced Aircraft Systems Class

Field trip to a Fedex 727, to locate and see in real life the systems we have been learning about all semester. You'd never guess where the APU is on a 727! More pictures from the trip can be found here:

Well, you know... it was a CLASS for a reason... But I'm sure you were born a 727 expert, Mr. Yeager.

"You get to see oil quantity, oil temperature, oil pressure but you don't get to see any of the engines..."

I guess if you can't turn your head to the left that's true.

[pipotherium]

@MISSIRES APU controls are on the left side of the door for me...

APU itself is between the main wheel wells.

Have you ever thought of just keeping the camera steady instead of waving it around like a flag in a breeze?
