Just read some news that Delta has retired its last 727. The flight took place from Greensboro NC to Atlanta Ga. I believe the last flight took place on tuesday.
Really sad to see this bird go. Everytime I flew on any airlines I always tried to fly on 727 equipment. A beauitful airplane with a style all its own. Hopefully, the 727 will march on with US Cargo majors in the near future.
And Doug, correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't Delta the last major to use the 727? I know, United, American, TWA, Contnental, and NW have retired their remaining fleet of the 727's. Doug, you were lucky to have served on this great airplane.
BTW, this is my first post here, been lurking for awhile. Really enjoy this site Doug. Thanks for the site and all the useful info for us private pilots.
