Funny that the old 737-200's seem to be favoured more for their handling than any of the later models.
There is something to the adage of 'if it looks right it will fly right'
I am really surprised about the 727 'flare' function.
The most sophisticated thing we had on ours were a PDCS performance computer and a few had OMEGA.
Even the Auto Speedbrake function was disabled as it was found it would fully activate after a high bounce causing the next arrival to be quite dramatic.
