Sandos,
Vref for the 727 at very light weights hovers right around 105 kts with flaps 40 (which isn't used anymore), but touchdown at that speed and it would be hard to hold the nose off...I suspect their Vref was around 125kts...

Please post what you are able to, jason. Many pilots would be interested to hear the story from the source.
