    And you thought airliners were bad...

    Hello gents

    I know SOH is combat oriented, and I much prefer that sort of flying to airliners, but I've got to say I've developed a bit of affection for the 727 by Captain Sim.

    I reviewed the Captain Sim 727 and I'd be very happy if you checked it out here-

    And some random shots-

    A true "Iron Knuckles" airplane.

    The 2-7 and DC-9 are two of my favorite tube liners.

    Definitely loads better than something with an FMC and glass cockpit in my book.

    Awesome feeling to land well

    My friends that flew the 727 always loved it, but in the modern ATC environment the capabilities of the glass cockpit and modern navigation capabilities are becoming increasingly necessary.

    Cheers: T.

    A thing that has always been disturbing me about the 727 is its three man crew.
    It just simply doesn't fit quite to a short to medium range plane.

    I find the 1-11, DC-9 and 737 way better (say "more efficient") in that regard.

    Flew many times in the 727 and it was a sweet tube, quiet and fast for its time, will always have good memories of it. Now I fly it all the time when I need a tube to get me to some remote country where the mission begins..........

    It's definitely a classic old girl, that's for sure.
