We flew one of the last, no... the last passenger -100 in captivity. It's lineage started with AA. It was one of the last ones off the assembly line. What was really unique about N1910 was that it was fitted with the aft zone temperature system which was found on the -200
. The cabin temp throughout the cabin was fantastic.
The -100 is one of those airplanes that you have to work at making a bad landing in. Amazing... v2 in the mid 120s... 340kts in the climb to .80... cruise at .87 descend on the barber pole to 10,000 then approach speed... somewhere in mid 120s... amazing. Now why can't Boeing develope another jet that do what the 727 did
Flew cargo -200s with -219s on the sides. Ferry flights were a hoot! 115,000 lb takeoff weight with 59,000 lbs of combined thrust? Move over 757
