Question

Forgive my ignorance, but how does the 727 fare with regard to noise regulations? I know Cougar aren't alone in operating them (and I'm presuming that they are hushkittted) but how much longer do they have and is it a case of massive de-rating?. .. .Cheers,. .Callltheball

there is no noise problem as the Cougar 727s are refitted with the "bigger" engines...re-certified to comply with stage 3...

Yeah, and they were getting a 757 recently as well!! . .. .Or were they, f?ck knows, they never bothered to tell those of us who were interviewed what happened to that plan.....not a good way to treat fellow aviators I think most would agree.. .. .Good luck if you go for an interview for the 727.
