I grew up in Miami during the peak of Eastern Airlines’ time there. They had a large fleet of 727 that would take off and roar over my neighborhood. We got used to the sound but it was brutally loud. Amazing memories.
One of their 727s still comes to our airport fairly frequent. I have only seen it fly once from a distance but it was beautiful. On my commute when I passed the airport I always hoped it was there for me to get a glimpse. Love reading the stories from people in the comments. My dad took a flight with one back in the 80s from Germany to Spain. I can only imagine air travel back then.
Yes. I live in Manchester, UK. Ive grown up in a house under the departure path for flights from Manchester Ringway Airport. As a young kid i saw 727s, DC-10s, L-1011s, 747-100s and 747-200s daily. Those beasts would make the ground shake as they flew over my back garden. I fell in love with aviation. Today all planes are so boring. As a very small kid i could tell what type of plane flew over my childhood home. Today i still get the 787 and A350 confused. They are literally the same plane. Honestly Airbus just took the designs of the 787 and copy and pasted. Like every single plane since.
@@747heavyboeing3 indeed. Unfortunately this bird has the hush kits. I miss the days of the car alarms being set off as she roared to life and took to the sky.
As a kid in the air capital of the world, Wichita, Kansas, my mom went to visit friends from church. They lived up the street from the end of the runway. I walked down the street and up to the airport fence and watched the planes take off. I loved being behind the 727's as they held the brake a moment and throttled up and released the breaks. Being blasted by the black smoky thrust putting my hands over my ears is a memory that I hope I will never forget as long as I live. I absolutely loved that!!! It's sad that kids don't get to experience that. I can still picture those days in my mind. St. Martins is maybe the closest to experience what I did alone in the 1960's but they aren't 727-100's.
I worked on the - 100s and - 200s. Taxing was great. Always had ample fuel in center tank. Did a few high speed runs with 0 flaps a right seat mechanic, and one in F/E position. Full nose down 85 knots. For MX run, what a rush with MTO thurst with brake hold. - 15"s and - 17R"s on 12K runways, pure adrenaline, better make darn sure we had all engine generators on line, if N/G ground proximity switch opened APU shutdown not a good thing at night...lol
Great memories of the 727 Very very loud and some models you got lucky and got lots of black smoke and you could smell the jet fuel in the air it would rattle your windows at your apartment or your house and shake the foundations oh yes great memories sure missed those days!!!
Love the sound!!!!! Huge like!!!! She is hush kitted and still louder then an MD-80!!!! Can’t imagine the sound unhushed. You’d be hearing loud crackling for miles away.
It did! The roar from these babies was ear shattering! My grandmother lived on the departure path of the airport where I grew up, and these bad boys would fly over her house....no hush kits. It was heaven!
Thank you so much for the comment! Sorry for the late response. Even with hushkits the 727 sounds amazing. It's too bad there are no unhushed 727s anymore.
When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s I would be in the airport and when one of these wonderful 727s took off it shook the windows such a thunderous roar I miss those days I miss the awesome 727 it was such a wonderful aircraft they are greatly missed this video reminded me of my childhood thanks for the reminder of the good old days of airline jets now I've just got to subscribe
And to think that this plane had a hush kit. Starting in 2000, 727s had to have hush kits installed in order to keep operating in the U.S. Prior to that, it was wild when a 727 would take off. I miss the days when 727s, DC-8,s and 737-100 would be miles away yet you could still hear the thunder-like rumble.
If you didn't know, the owner of Kalitta Charters, Doug Kalitta, and his uncle, Conrad Kalitta, the owner of Kalitta Air, were both drag racers. That's why Kalitta's callsign is "Connie" after Conrad, and Kalitta Charters' callsign is "Dragster". Very cool!
Horizon Productions SFL I deliver and pick up freight for all of Kalitta’s operations in Ypsilanti, MI so I get to see aircraft, dragsters and the turbine engine shop up close on a regular basis . It’s pretty neat.
WOW, I don't care about era's as all i'm seeing here is what must be one of the most stunning looking aircraft , both sleek and beautiful , with awesome power under the hood " ROAR power "might be more appropriate , let's just hope that we always keep the 727 at museum's and display's as a reminder of what we can really do if we want to show what design " perfection " looks like !
I spent countless hours watching 727s landing and taking off at Denver's Stapleton in the mid 80s when I lived out there. United, Continental, Northwest, Delta, Western, Piedmont, TWA, Republic, Frontier, Eastern, Denver Ports of Call, UPS, I' ve probably missed a few. Unmatched access to runway viewing, those days are long gone like most of those airlines but fondly remembered.
That's incredible! It's crazy how much times have changed. The Horizon team has only seen a handful of these beautiful trijets as they continue to fade into history. Thanks for sharing your story!
@@ilikerio I should have clarified that not all of these airlines flew the 727 specifically out of Denver but most of them did. I enjoyed watching all of the jets which came and went out of Stapleton.
Me too! My childhood home was right along the flight path. I’d sit in m backyard for hours watching them. Best sound in the world when those 727 flew overhead! ❤
I loved the pair of runways that went over 70, when we'd go there Dad would try to time it where we were under the bridge as a plane was rolling over it.
Reminds me of being at work at LAX and DEN with CO 30 years ago. Those were the days. Cars with an alarm would be set off by the exhaust roar. You could follow those aircraft with the JT8's with the naked eye for 10-15 miles based on the exhaust. This one has been hush kitted, however. Nice video.
The 727 is STILL my favorite passenger jetliner! It was a beautiful plane! With the upgraded designs of the GE and Rolls-Royce engines used on the 787 and 777X, Boeing could resurrect the 27 as a single-aisle, overseas airplane!
Late to finding this; thanks for the ideal aviation video, true sound with only ATC as narration. I remember when the man behind 'Dragster 726' was making a name for himself in drag racing and, ironically, we were getting introduced to the then new 727 blasting us with jet wash as it rotated off the gate at our local airport. Those were the days of open air gates when a kid could leave his bicycle at the airport front door and walk out to watch airplanes. Thanks for capturing a bit of history so well.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're extremely proud of this video, and it's one of the best on our channel. Also, thanks for sharing your story as well. Things were so different back in the glory days. It's really a privilege to see a 727 still flying today!
My favorite bird that ever flew..... miss her!!!! LOVE THE LOUD AND SMOKE..nothin' more beautiful than "rotate to lift off'.......Sissies today ruined the airport experience
I was on a 727 (Eastern LGA-Richmond) that had a compressor stall in the center engine on takeoff. LOUD bang! But we continued to barrel down the runway. Later on, the captain explained what happened and said it wasn’t uncommon in the #2 engine and a crosswind.
Personally I'm glad to have lived long enough to see the era of quiet, efficient, and more powerful engines. I remember when every jet that flew over sounded like this. The JT8-D was a workhorse, but glad it only makes an appearance every now and then.
"DRAGSTER 726 TL HEADING ZERO EIGHT ZERO RWY 10R CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF"...and that ladies and gentlemen is what a commercial jet airliner should look and sound like. Three JT8D turbojet engines, screaming loud, lots of smoke, and then climbing out like a home sick Angel.
He was heavy! Used up a lot of real estate getting off the ground. Used to work for Airlift International at an Air Force Base in Japan. Had 2 B727-100 aircraft we flew around Asia for the Air Force. Great airplane.
Great catch! I miss the glorious sound of the Boeing 707's we took to Athens, Greece (my father's home country) from JFK airport, NYC 'back in the day'! I was a young teen aviation buff then, and we flew Olympic and TWA 707's nonstop! It's amazing that it only took 8 hours, and sometimes just under 8 hours to make the trip, but then again, these 707's flew faster than current jets.
@@jujuguy2323 Good post. Not all of them. There were flights where we stopped mainly in Rome to refuel, but on several occasions, the 707 did make it nonstop to Athens from NYC. Didn't some 707's have extended range fuel tanks and other engineering improvements?
I used to stand in the end of the runway at MBJ back in the 90s when those dirty girls would take off and there were no other planes with the same level of thrust, thanks to that 3rd engine. Would get blown into the ocean!
I wasn't there for this take off but I have been there to hear the sounds of the zero G 727, all my friends were there for the photos and the pulled off some wild ones !!!
Love B727's! But it just shows how far modern high bypass fans have gotten! I was under the end of Melbourne Airport runway 01 when a B787 took off over my head. I was blown away by how quiet it was!
Can’t believe this must be the same equine air travel 727 that arrives in Albany international airport every summer for track season. Missed the chance to catch it last year. But this time I’m camping out to hear those trijets give some love!!
727-100 is hard to beat. Fast, smooth, and a stable flier. Thought all of these were retired and gone by now. Did lots of trips in those things. A fine aircraft for 1,500 miles to 2,500 miles. TWA always had the best service.
I miss seeing 3 turbine jetliners, as a kid I remember seeing these in the air from a side angle at a far distance and the 3rd turbine would be the most noticeable thing on the plane. Such linear memories, truly miss the early 2000s
Up until about 2 years ago, Cargojet operated a small fleet of 722-Fs out of Hamilton Ontario. At that time I lived in the tri-city area, about 50km north of CYHM. I remember one spring night waking up to a thunderous rumble. I thought, 'why on earth is a CF-18 making a departure out of Kitchener-Waterloo at this hour?' I loaded up flight radar and lo and behold, it was a Cargojet 722 passing over at 10,000ft. It was glorious.
Back in the mid '70s, my dad would take us kids out to Indianapolis International and plane watch. I'd love hearing these "Three Holers" take off. The ground would shake!
Back in the 60’s and 70’s I thought that was the coolest looking airliner ever. In the 90’s I flew on one, a charter from Milwaukee to Vegas, and it was the worst flight ever. Packed into a full plane like sardines for 3:45… agony. I mostly have flown on 737’s in recent years, and they’re pretty nice.
I remember watching the old Pan-Am 727-200F cargo planes taking off from Puerto Rico when they still had the JT8D-1 engines and the sound is stupendous. It really was a masterpiece. I’m currently reviving an old TWA 727-200F for my company. Due to efficiency Im installing new JT8D-217 engines on it but are currently in talks to see if we can get by with removing the hush kit so we can sneak the old school unhindered sound back. Obviously, this risks certain liabilities given the new rules but on the off chance we can work it, would you like to come out and video the girl when she’s done? She’s going to be modified as I’ve selected to add modern avionics where we could.
i remember these dc-9s, md-80s and 737-200s going over my house out of kansas city back in the 80s you could hear that jt8d rumble for 15 minutes or so tell you could barely see a speck in the sky
Greetings from Scotland, came across your video tremendous what a sound. I have literally just caught a 727 arrival and departure at Prestwick this week, all I can say is it was worth the wait these ole girls are awesome. Liked and subbed to your channel
VP-BAP flies out of Van Nuys every once in a while. When departing south, it takes a wide climbing turn to the east giving a beautiful profile view of the graceful lines. IMO, 727 is the most graceful looking airliner when seen in flight.
I used to fly on TWA and AA's 727s in the late 1980's and '90s. The cabin seemed very roomy, for a single aisle plane, and it was very quiet (unless you were in the back 2 or 3 rows). The only thing I didn't like is on the initial climb, if you were in the last 10 rows or so, it would often feel like the plane was falling out from underneath you when she cut the power back or into a cloud.
The 727 was the first plane that I flew on more than 50 years ago. Then 3 years ago I got on an alligent A320 Sounded like a bee.. I loved the 727 roar
![MUST HEAR!!! Boeing 707 Takeoff: Four JT3D turbofan engines giving their best & loudest! [AirClips]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EI3owgIj6zs/mqdefault.jpg)
The 727 is as close to a jet fighter as a commercial airliner will ever get! This almost sounds like an F4 Phantom takoff!
I grew up in Miami during the peak of Eastern Airlines’ time there. They had a large fleet of 727 that would take off and roar over my neighborhood. We got used to the sound but it was brutally loud. Amazing memories.
😅
I know this is going to sound bad but, I really miss those smoke trails from the older jet engines.
So do I. ❤
Nothing wrong with that!
Don't let the green world activists spook you out of enjoying this.
They still have some on the 757s usually RB211 but also on the PW2000!
The smoke trails and that sustained thunderous rumbling which you could hear from miles away

Absolute beauty! Thank you for commenting!
Back when I was a kid every time a 727 took off it was so loud it shook the windows in the airport it was so awesome I miss those days
This 727 is a PLANE. Love the loud engines
Absolutely! The sound of those PW engines never gets old.
Such a beautiful Aircraft. Loved the roar of the engines.
Dragster 726 was a good call sign as he sounded like a dragster accelerating on his takeoff run...Nice!
This is by far the BEST sound recording I have ever listened to on UA-cam!! What a great aircraft, the mighty 727!
Phone speaker doesn't do it justice, and that puppy had "hush kits"...still beautiful sound!
Die Boeing 727 war und ist das beste Flugzeug aller Zeiten. Bin immer gerne mitgeflogen.
Up until about 2 years ago, Cargojet operated a small fleet of 722-Fs out of Hamilton Ontario. At that time I lived in the tri-city area, about 50km north of CYHM. I remember one spring night waking up to a thunderous rumble. I thought, 'why on earth is a CF-18 making a departure out of Kitchener-Waterloo at this hour?' I loaded up flight radar and lo and behold, it was a Cargojet 722 passing over at 10,000ft. It was glorious.
I got 80 dB from a Cargojet 722 at 10,000 ft it rattled the house.
That is amazing!! These birds are truly one of a kind, thank you for sharing that story!
How badass is it that their ICAO code is "Dragster"
Back in the mid '70s, my dad would take us kids out to Indianapolis International and plane watch. I'd love hearing these "Three Holers" take off. The ground would shake!
Amazing!! Thanks for commenting!
Such an beautiful bird
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Back in the 60’s and 70’s I thought that was the coolest looking airliner ever. In the 90’s I flew on one, a charter from Milwaukee to Vegas, and it was the worst flight ever. Packed into a full plane like sardines for 3:45… agony. I mostly have flown on 737’s in recent years, and they’re pretty nice.
Interesting! Sounds like the airline chose a bad configuration. Thanks for watching!
As an everyday worker for JB on their Airbus aircraft and 190s....the T tail airliners will always be my favorites
727, still my favorite jet. 😊
Loved the call sign……”dragster”
I remember watching the old Pan-Am 727-200F cargo planes taking off from Puerto Rico when they still had the JT8D-1 engines and the sound is stupendous. It really was a masterpiece. I’m currently reviving an old TWA 727-200F for my company. Due to efficiency Im installing new JT8D-217 engines on it but are currently in talks to see if we can get by with removing the hush kit so we can sneak the old school unhindered sound back. Obviously, this risks certain liabilities given the new rules but on the off chance we can work it, would you like to come out and video the girl when she’s done? She’s going to be modified as I’ve selected to add modern avionics where we could.
That is incredible!! Sorry for the extremely late response. Is the project still in work? Please email us if it is (contact info on our "about" page)!
Music to my ears!
Wow! Great 727 takeoff sound!
I sure do Miss those Days of Aviation ACTION...Especially with the B727😞😞🙏🏻
Sure wish we could relive the glory days of aviation. But it's great to see some of these old birds still flying! Thanks for commenting!
i remember these dc-9s, md-80s and 737-200s going over my house out of kansas city back in the 80s you could hear that jt8d rumble for 15 minutes or so tell you could barely see a speck in the sky
Amazing!! Thanks for commenting!
Amazing sound, great airplane Love it..!! thanks for share...
Thank you!
Ahh, the glorious sounds of a real jet. I miss the glory days of air travel.
Greetings from Scotland, came across your video tremendous what a sound. I have literally just caught a 727 arrival and departure at Prestwick this week, all I can say is it was worth the wait these ole girls are awesome. Liked and subbed to your channel
Thank you so much! The sound of the 727 is absolutely amazing.
JT8D has an amazing sound!!!!
VP-BAP flies out of Van Nuys every once in a while. When departing south, it takes a wide climbing turn to the east giving a beautiful profile view of the graceful lines. IMO, 727 is the most graceful looking airliner when seen in flight.
Such a stunning machine! Fantastic video, well done man! :)
Thank you so much dude!! Sorry for the late response, but it's better late than never! :)
Beautiful, just beautiful!!👍🏼
@3:05 they plucked her eyebrows; gorgeous, the sound of jet power, she commands the runway.
The JT8D power is insane! Thanks for commenting!
The sound of my childhood. ✌🏻💙
Thanks for commenting!
Just beautiful
727 said to all the other planes. Hold my beer!
I used to fly on TWA and AA's 727s in the late 1980's and '90s. The cabin seemed very roomy, for a single aisle plane, and it was very quiet (unless you were in the back 2 or 3 rows). The only thing I didn't like is on the initial climb, if you were in the last 10 rows or so, it would often feel like the plane was falling out from underneath you when she cut the power back or into a cloud.
Really didn't want to lift wow but what a sound!
Nothing like it. Thanks.
Thank you for commenting!
Not going to lie but the V2500 sounds great too.
The 727 was the first plane that I flew on more than 50 years ago. Then 3 years ago I got on an alligent A320
Sounded like a bee.. I loved the 727 roar
That's super cool! Modern airplanes really can't compare. Thank you for commenting!
