The only 727 flight I ever remember was when WN had a few back in the '80s. I think we went HOU-LBB. How many people here can say they've been in a 727 with Southwest?

Mar 92:
American Airlines
IND-BNA
BNA-MIA
ORD-IND

May 96:
American Trans Air (now ATA Airlines)
LAS-IND. Very severe turbulence after takeoff. It was very bad about 3000' AGL. Not sure if it was wake vorticies or what but it was a nice warm day.

As we flew over Missouri, it was now dark and I had never flown over a Thunderstorm, impressive seeing lightning below you.

Just before touchdown, I had noticed that it was getting very hot in the cabin. This was just after the Easyjet DC-9 crashed into the Everglades. As we deplaned, I noticed that the aisle was turning to rubber and could feel it soften and roll as I walked . I doubt that there was a fire but I wasn't imagining it - the cabin crew were discussing the heat of the cabin and the floor sponginess with the flight deck personnel.

I'd love to get a ride in a '27, but sadly, they're so sparse that it's not lookin good for me. First Air does occasionally send one to YWG, but the ticket up north is almost a thousand bucks, so no way. Anyways...oh yeah, Dave, it was ValuJet, not Easyjet, that lost the -9 in FL...

I think the year was 96 when I was moving to Munich, I flew on a DL 727 from DCA-JFK.

I've noticed that with most of my trips every plane I fly on has the same amount of engines. If I fly on the 747 back from Tokyo I'm usually on the RJ85 comin back to GFK. That flight out ot MUC I was on a 727 and an L-1011, and if I'm on a 777 comin over the pond, I'm usually on the DC-9. Not always that way, but mostly it works out that way, just kinda strange.

[schuyler]

alot of AA, NW, and UA 727's(to many to remember, pluss i was fairly young).

i dont think i have ever flown a MD11, but i did fly atleast 1 DC10 back a cuple years ago(right after 9/11 if i remember corectly). dont think i ever flew a L1011 either.

but ya, i used to have alot of those NW colecter cards for 727's. dont know why, they were just alwase the equipment used on the flights we took(mostly BOS-ORD and such)

My first 727 flight was also my first ever flight:

July 1968, EA JFK-CLT
(return flight EA 727 CLT-LGA)
(Don't ask me why we flew out of JFK but returned to LGA. We had to take a bus (Carey Transportation?) from LGA to JFK b/c my mom had parked in the JFK Long-Term lot.)

My last 727 flights were Nov. 92 UA 722 LAX-SFO, SFO-LAX

In between, I flew 727s on UA, AA, TW, DL, National

Boxes...

[maverick]

My first commercial flight ever was in a 727, in April 2001, MSP-MCO on Sun Country. It'll probably remain my only 727 flight too, so I consider myself lucky I got to fly on one.

[Pilatus]

I only got to fly on a 727 three times:

American B727-200 MIA-SDQ and SDQ-MIA (1996)
Aerocontinente B727-100 AQP-JUL (2004)
