February 26, 201313 yr This is something a little different than what I'm used to doing, as I've mostly flown modern jets with the two-person crew and FMC. This time, I'm trying a flight in the old Boeing 727-200Adv to see how I manage. This was a short flight from Chicago O'Hare to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, and instead of using the airways and waypoints that I'm accustomed to with the modern jets, I'm flying VOR to VOR this time around. So here goes. Here is the aircraft taxiing out of the United terminal. Taking off from runway 4 left, airborne, and gear up. Level at flight level 310. Left turn after overflying the Sandusky VOR. Coming down now, slats extended. VOR runway 13 right approach. Well, the good news is that I found the airport, so at least I didn't screw that one up. Touchdown runway 13 right. A little surprised at the short stopping distance with this thing. Roughly about 1800 feet....although I suppose I have stopped in shorter distances with the 757 before. Parked at the gate. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
