July 7, 201312 yr The 727 is a beautiful aircraft, for anyone who never got to fly on one, you missed a treat. Great shots!
July 7, 201312 yr Too bad there isn't a great 727 for FSX. I have the Capt Sim version but the A/P will not work properly unless you have Acceleration installed....plus it need a ton of mods to make it work properly. Wonder why Dreamfleet did not update their classic from FS9 to FSX? Mark CYYZ
July 9, 201312 yr Great Shots. I love this plane. I saw private 727 a few weeks ago out of NY as I was going to work and was surprised at how loud it was!

July 9, 201312 yr I've fueled many of the FedEx 727s. I love those planes. We usually get A300s but they'd send a 727 as a 'sweeper' to pick up anything that wouldn't fit on the Airbuses. One of my all time favorite planes. Nice shots!
July 9, 201312 yr I was lucky enough to ride on a few of the trijets the 727,Dc10,and the l1011 which is pretty lucky since I'm only 23 and most of these planes were on their way out by the time I was 10 ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170

July 10, 201312 yr Brings back many pleasant FS memories of my favorite 727 livery A Fedex 727 was the first aircraft I fired up after installing a 3d video card waaaay back in the fs day. Plus many night runs in subsequent years and fs versions. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful aircraft. Regards, Mark
July 11, 201312 yr Love this bird!!! Spent lots of time with her. :wub: Sad to see her fade away. :( Great post! A 3-holer for fsx would be awesome for sure. i9-13900KS | ASUS Z790 Maximus | Lian Li Galahad II Trinity | G-Skill DDR5-7200 CL34 2x16 | Nvidia 4090 FE | Samsung 990 Pro x 2
