I remember flying in 727’s when Airlines didn’t give a bugger about fuel consumption and no one cared about noise. It was a grand adventure and the bloody things took off almost vertically. Great times.
I remember being in Detroit Metro back in the '70's watching the planes take off as a kid. The DC-9 would rocket up almost vertical as well. When I say, 'rocket up,' that's literally LOL. They would burst in to view from behind the terminal, almost straight up into the clouds. Black exhaust blowing out, windows rattling in the terminal. Sounded just like thunder. The DC-9 isn't one of my favorites, but it was a fantastic plane as well.
I remember the 727s were still called whisper jets lol. Compared to Tridents, BAC-1-11s and VC-10s, concorde, TU-134s, Gulfstream 2s etc they are. I believe that engine noise is too quiet in the cabin of some modern aircraft, that it paradoxically reduces passenger comfort. I remember when I flew at the rear cabin of TU154s, DC9s and MD-11s passengers tended to fall asleep soon after take off and you didn't get distracted by other people's conversations, packets rustling or snoring etc.
Not necessarily true. Today's modern jets have FAR more impressive takeoff performance than the 727. They don't look or sound as cool, but they go uphill with MUCH more vertical speed than the 727 did. As in, no comparison. Most takeoffs today are conducted using reduced thrust to save wear and tear on the engines hot sections. This greatly reduces fuel burn over the lifetime of the engine.
@Dennis Wilson There should be towns designed around car and aviation enthusiasts specifically, that way we can all the ear shattering noises to ourselves while those who don't want it don't get it...
The engine sound is just beautiful. The 727 always sounds extremely loud because it has 3 loud JT8Ds. It has the awesome look of the 737 with the classic T-tail and 3 awesome-sounding engines! Amazing combination!
Awesome!! My first flight was on a 727. You have to hand it to the engineers in the early 60s, they knew what they were doing. Rear engines so most of the cabin is quiet, self contained staircase for smaller fields who don't have ground equipment, etc. Very solid, reliable plane.
I wouldn't say it was difficult to land. The 200 had some weird quirks because of the extended fuselage, but it wasn't "hard" to land. It certainly didn't take long runways...the whole reason the 727 was created was to be able to service smaller airports with shorter fields that the 707 couldn't. The wing created an amazing amount of lift, and we could regularly access fields in Central and South America that were no more than 6,000 feet. Loud...hell yes. But it was a joy to fly.
S. Mesut - Please specify how the Vickers VC-10 could pass our Convair CV-990 which recorded flights averaging 645 MPH. We did get passed by only one liner and it said British Airways, had a pointy nose, and Captain said "Sorry about that". First Concorde we'd ever seen! Oh well!!
During the 70's my buddies and I would hang around Indy Intl (then Weir Cook) and watch the jets come and go. Our favorite was always the 727. Pure power, and when the pilots would go full throttle on take off we loved hearing the rippling sound. This a great video.
Beautiful jet penned out on drafting tables in the early 60's, Am I the only one who loves the loud jet noise from those earlier times? The 727 and the DC9 are my favorites!
My first commercial jet ride was in a 727 back around 1970. I was in my late teens and had been in some pretty fast cars. But I remember being speechless from the awe I felt from how quickly the 727 accelerated. Coming back down was just as thrilling as it seemed like the pilot was slamming on the brakes while in the air setting up for landing. Quite a memorable experience for a youngster.
I grew up 2 miles from FLL. I remember the days when damn near every take off and landing was a 727. When I flew in the 727, you felt the raw power. It hit you in the guts when they did a full power take off. Those were the days when flying was fun. In 2019 it's a hassle filled with walking on eggshells in a bloated super expensive terminal. You spend more time at the airport than on the air.
I flew a 727 as a kid. CCU to Katmandu on Royal Nepal ...we entered the plane thru its tail, there is a dorr below its tail with steps. We sat at the back of the plane. I also had the luck to fly a British Airways tristar and a Royal Jordanian tristar. These planes have the third jet in the fuselage - which increased the cabin noise and vibration. Awesome!!!
Love the distinct sound of the JT8D, even with the hush kit, so loud! Cargo operator here sold off their last 72-2, man she was well past her prime and was constantly breaking down. Such a beautiful machine.
My mother used to be a flight attendant and she'd say that the 727's were so loud on takeoff, you'd almost want to cover your ears. That just makes me want to see one in person even more, lol! Something about loud, real aircraft that draw me in.
I realize I'm just sharing that I'm old as f***... but the 727s and DC9s were the QUIET ones when I was a little kid. I remember the terminal walls rattling when DC8s, 707s, and even CV880s took off.
First time I flew was a PSA 727 from Los Angeles to San Diego. Loved those birds and yes, lot less noise inside from tail mounted engines. Something about watching them take off over RTC/NTC San Diego while in boot camp, made we ready to fly home at the end. Great video.
First time I flew was a PSA 727 from San Diego to Sacramento via Los Angeles. The PSA pilots were skilled at setting down in San Diego because they did it all the time. Other airlines' pilots, not so much.
That one had hush kits. So, not nearly as loud as earlier variants. Plus, the 27 has a bypass engine. So, not nearly as loud as a pure turbojet. Say BAC-111 or the 737-200 "thunder-guppy". The 727 is a great airplane.
Claudia De Benedetti People used to refer to planes and big vehicles as females. Except for some real special people who use “they”, most nowadays, if using a pronoun, use “it” instead due to planes and ships being objects that benefit us.
I'm 49 this year. My first airplane ride was in February 1975 aboard a Branniff 727....my last flight on a 727 was in 1996 aboard a United flight between New York and Chicago. Favorite airliner of all time.
I work at HOU. It's amazing how fast those low bi pass planes disappeared after 9/11. If I was talking somebody and a 727,DC9 or a 737-200 was taking off. We would have to stop talking until they got airborn. Damn, I miss that crackling roar!
As a former 727 PFE, is the only other airplane, the DC8 the being the other, that makes me turn my head every time I see one. That beautiful "noise" is music to my ears, and what has kept this great airplane flying for more than 50 years. Great rotation attitude. Thanks for sharing.
I flew on a Tri-Star L-1011 from NYC nonstop to Denver. What a beautiful air craft...been on a 727 when I went to Tampa, FL. Not too bad of a plane...quite enjoyable!
I love love love and miss miss miss tha sounds of those beautiful JT8D engines!!!! Aviation just isn't tha same anymore without them!!!!! The 727s and DC9s rule always 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊👊
Beautiful video. Especially liked seeing it juxtaposed with the 380. I remember when these 727s were as ubiquitous as 737s are now, taking off every couple of minutes over my high school (which was directly under the flight path, about a mile from the airport). Teachers frequently had to stop their lectures while those JT8D engines roared overhead.
Tanforan Shopping Mall in San Bruno,CA was under the flight path near SFO. As a kid in the late 70's/early 80's I told my parents I would wait in the car while they went shopping and they can take as long as they wanted lol!!
I loved flying on the 727s! Best part was the takeoffs with the incredible feel of acceleration. Most of the faster, bigger, newer commercial planes don't have the same feel of acceleration as 727s. Someone on here wrote that they were quiet inside with the engines on the back of the plane. Mostly true except when you had a seat in the last few rows of the plane.
When I was a kid I used to stand at the end of the runway and watch 727s take off at Washington Reagan National Airport. Best takeoff sound on the planet!
They thought that was loud. The old Convair 880 and 990 were screamers. But I still love the 727, my first ride in a jet airliner was on a 727 from Cincinnati to Washington D.C.
Yep. I think airlines didn't start playing the 'stop adding seats when people stop paying' game until late 90s, maybe. Last regular carrier 727 I flew aboard was in 1994 and I seem to recall, even then, a pretty comfy arrangement.
They make the seats So Small in this day and age. I can understand why there are concerns with the airline industries current treatment of economy class flyers.
...last 727 I flew on (series 200) in was early January 2001 MKE to DTW on Northwest to make a connection back to Portland OR. First one was a Series 100 on American (in the old Astrojet colours) from ORD to LGA in January 1968. Loved that plane felt like riding a rocket back then and enjoyed watching those large triple slotted flaps extend for landing.
Wow, these were good times! An LH A380 lurking in the background, too. MIA still gets an occasional B727F, but sadly they aren't regular visitors any more.
I live a good 10 miles from KCLT (near IKEA, for those familiar with Charlotte) I frequent hear planes on climb out during northbound operations, especially medium to heavy aircraft like the a330s American and the a330/a340 Lufthansa operate to Europe. But one day I distinctly remember a roar unlike what I’d heard before (excluding military) it rattled my brand new apartment building like a tin can, upon checking FlightAware it turned out to be a 727, the Zero G, anti gravity simulation 727 to be exact.
A man in the States brought a 727 which retired from a carrier there and he now lives in his plane near Portland, now that just goes to show how much pride and joy this bird brings to people. They interviewed that man and all the switches in the cockpit light up as if it was ready for preflight.
That's actually one of the primary things (jet engine scream!) that made me love airplanes when I was a little boy! I remember parking with my parents just besides the runway in Quito - Ecuador's international airport back in the day, and watch all these b727's take off in a row...

I wonder why they don't make them with rear engines like that anymore. Seems to be the more sensible approach.
Lol. Seriously, were you just being sarcastic, or is the rear engine design inherently less stable in flight?

I worked the 707s. We called the 727 Mr Boeing's hot rod. IMO the 707 was the best ever built and the 727 was the best looking ever built.

The 707 and the 727, real glamour girls in commercial aviation.
The 727 was a Major BADASS airplane!
My favourite aircraft.
So many memorable flights on that magnificent bird.
Wow. What a beautiful plane! The lines on it, the livery, this looks like a rare, exotic bird.
I have a soft spot for the 727, it's such a lovely design. Made even more aesthetically pleasing by those retro-fitted winglets.
The 727 needs to make a comeback, I sure miss this tri-jet. Long live the 727!!!!!!!!!
That's a proper engine sound!
Boeing 727, one of the best planes ever made. The noise of the engines speak for itself.
2:10 Did anyone see the fiery exhaust from the left tail engine or is it just me?
Also at 2:02.
Sounds like a fighter jet
727 is the only tri-jet that i like, it looks really classy.
If you watch carefully @ 2:01 and again @2:11 you will see an orange flame coming out of the left engine. Anyone know why that would be?
It seems like the standard departure of a 727 was to stand it on it's tail and climb baby climb! Love it!
What a beautiful painting !!!!
I love the rear, self contained staircase, makes it the best private aircraft conversion
I live a good 10 miles from KCLT (near IKEA, for those familiar with Charlotte) I frequent hear planes on climb out during northbound operations, especially medium to heavy aircraft like the a330s American and the a330/a340 Lufthansa operate to Europe. But one day I distinctly remember a roar unlike what I’d heard before (excluding military) it rattled my brand new apartment building like a tin can, upon checking FlightAware it turned out to be a 727, the Zero G, anti gravity simulation 727 to be exact.
My favorite airline as a kid. It just has this sporty look that screams performance. It's like the 911 turbo of the airline world.
I ask you guys tomorrow Dr Zakir Nike❤

Really thankful that I still get to see these land and takeoff occasionally.
A man in the States brought a 727 which retired from a carrier there and he now lives in his plane near Portland, now that just goes to show how much pride and joy this bird brings to people. They interviewed that man and all the switches in the cockpit light up as if it was ready for preflight.
That's actually one of the primary things (jet engine scream!) that made me love airplanes when I was a little boy! I remember parking with my parents just besides the runway in Quito - Ecuador's international airport back in the day, and watch all these b727's take off in a row...
Good times back in the late 80’s watching these take off from the overlook at CLT.
You caught the screaming roar of jet engines better than any other video-I love it! And it is such a beautiful plane.
Now THAT!!! is what a JT8D equipped jet airliner should sound like. Loud and smokey. Nuff said.
