This photo is a classic. It's like a high school year book...some old friends we never see again, and others change. But there is always that one friend that stays the same (reference to AA)

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Note the only livery still around is AA, they really got it right. By the way (today) the 727 burns way too much gas and the power to weight not too good either. Long live the 757!

How i miss the days of the 727

A visitor from Mauritius posted Fri December 28, 2007:
One more beautiful picture of the legendary 727 the sight of this pic gave me a chicken skin missed those days

A visitor from Turkey posted Tue November 20, 2007:
This is so cool! I remember flying a Delta 3-holer our of La Guardia in 1980. This is very much what it looked like that day, except there were even more Eastern jets on the ramp. All 727s. Man I miss those days!! T-tails and aft mounted engines are quickly becoming a thing of the past... so sad.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu November 8, 2007:
