Reminds me of my old 727s, the 100 and 200s.
Otherwise known to me as my "sports car". I loved the 100s...
The 200s were ok, provided if with high "dash number" JT8D power.
Some of the 200s had high MTOW limit, over 200,000 lbs.

As long as we had hydraulics (A&B for the rudders) we were in fat city.
But no hydraulics, we had all kinds of altitude and speed restrictions.
This was due to the nasty "Dutch Roll" habits of the 727.
Anti-balance tabs were obviously fitted to assist the yaw dampers.

My description of the 727, was "an easy plane to fly".
And yet easier to kill yourself with, especially if it was your first "jet"...
