Nice aircraft, I wish I'd have flown on one as a passenger!

Nice to see some FS2004 pics. I like the paint scheme.

I did have the honor of hitching a ride on the 727 back in the 80's! Thanks Coot!

American Airlines still had plenty of them when I hired on in 1972. 707's, too. Both passenger and freight versions. Boy those old airplanes were loud!

I am thinking Release the Parking Breaks before takeoff and have them checked upon arrival at your destination
because you have been riding all over this Thread with them on. I thought I smelled something burning, but I couldn't
put my finger on it until I looked here a second time. screwy

Ah...parking brakes are used whenever the aircraft is stopped for long periods of time. In the first shots, I was still parked at the maintenance shack. The other shot I was stopped waiting for ramp traffic and the next time I was waiting to be cleared for takeoff. Is it all clear for you now?

There is ALWAYS that one. Jeesh.

Makes me want to reinstall FX10 and get all of my airliners flying again. I really enjoyed flying the 737. Have every version including the early model done by Captain Sim. Oh God, don't make me do it. With all of my add-ons it takes me days!

Cool shots. I was doing some research and saw 727s had 3 seats each side of the aisle, didn't know this was it standard?

In business class I would think it is but, in the 1st class section I would think there would be only two seats each side but, a bum like me never flew 1st class! lol

Good question though!

There were three seats each side of the one I flew on out of Atlanta in '82.

Nice old bird. I consider myself lucky to have flown on united's 727's before they went out of service.
