whatsa:
It may have been weak in the climb with those motors, but once airborne, it flew far better than anything built after it except maybe the 747 and Concorde
727? We had both -100 and -200s with the 14,500 thrust engine. Lousy airplane, both models.
727-200 taking off on Runway 8 at ABQ was an "E Ticket" ride. The wallowing at altitude in the -100 was a delight...not.
