australian air express still operate b727s,dont know where you live but they fly from perth to melbourne daily

[summerwind1974]

hey Scott... Im in Tassie and I am really pleased to hear that because on the odd occasion I have suspected hearing the roar of a 727 overnight, but when i posed the question, other enthusiasts said that AAE definatly were not flying the 727s anymore. However i did suspect that they still have maybe one in service.

Thanks so much for this piece. This ad campaign started for me a life-long love affair with flying. I still get a thrill hearing the sound of jet engines winding up, and this song gives me happy goosebumps!

[summerwind1974]

Pleased u enjoyed it :)

I occasionally see or rather HEAR a 727 over where I work. I think Heavy Lift use it. Awesome aircraft!

[summerwind1974]

I dont suppose u know whether AAE still fly at least one 727? I have suspected that one flies over my house regularly on a freight run...

Wonderful video of a truly great airline, I feel sorry for people who have only known Jetstar & Virgin Blue...back when flying was seen for what it was a privelidge and not an aerial bus service for bogans...thanks again well done!!! 10 out of 10

This is the version of teh music (the female singer) from the add. It evoked such love of flying. Thanks for this, its especially good with the aircraft involved.

When I was 13 I flew in the 'jump seat' in the cockpit of VH-TJK 'Douglas Mawson' (I think) from BNE to CNS. Still one of the the most vivid and happy memories of my childhood in Cairns. My Dad was then the Company Sec. for Bush Pilots Airways - hence the 'company' privilege. Thanks to the Captain and FO on that flight who really made me feel at home.

i remember as a child taking my first flight in a ANA DC3 Cairns to Cooktown - it was to me and still is the greatest event of my life time - I still remember TAA and ANA they were the glorious days of flying

Thanks. Like most others, I have just relived some great childhood memories of Mascot Airport and flying for the first time Syd-Perth.

Thankyou for the time you have spent creating this video..I loved TAA and first flew syd-perth in '77. Like others it has brought back many fond memories of my youth going to Mascot, watching the planes land from the northern old observation decks at the international terminal back in the 70's. I lived under the old e/w flt path and would be running out watching the DC-10's, 747's, DC-9's and 727's. Living in Brissy now, a 727 (no sure owns it) flies in and out daily - oh the drone of a 727!
