I seem to recall that the 727 has a tail skid (retractable)...so does the DC9 series, though it is called a bumper.
ok, a managment pilot bumped the tail...its the old line:
1 week away from flying and I FEEL IT
2 weeks away from flying and my copilot feels it
3 weeks away from flying and my passengers feel it
4 weeks away from flying and a tail strike happens.
5 weeks away from flying and they make me a chief pilot
