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?

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.
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)

please excuse my horendus mangeling of the english language, its only my first :P
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
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.
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
