We were both wrong - 727 production ended in 1984!
Sorry, I'm not knocking the 146, I agree it's a superbly quiet aeroplane (except when the flaps are going up or down!) and very capable, and there's life in the young dog yet.
How many 727s are still flying? Presumably not many in Europe now, last few I've noticed knocking around appeared to be execs (one had winglets even, or did I imagine it?).
