flying my last trips in the 3 holer ,laying over in PHL right now,accepted a position with the major fractional operator,start 2/11, God's grace,just getting out ahead of the mass retirement of our blue tailed beauties. It has been a marvelous ride, I have no complaints, it was tremendous,awesome fun ! Cheers !
Sorry to hear you won't be flying the 727's anymore, hope your new job treats you just as good.
I am sorry you are loosing your lawn dart! They do not make them like that anymore!
Its all good, I felt the same way when I left the DC-3,and the Convair 340, onwards and upwards to new cockpits, new adventures,new amigos ! The 727 is special, it as much a work of art, a living sculpture, as it is a product of engineering,a total joy to fly, it has been a grand 8 years !
Pop the circuit for the slats....2 notch of flaps... get to your destination faster...then do a barrel roll over the runway at 200 feet in celebration of flying the aircraft that had more innovations than any other.....including the 747!
didn't somebody try that over detroit ?
Man, I'd consider myself lucky beyond belief to be able to fly such marvelous airplanes. Sorry to hear your ride is coming to an end! You work(ed) for Boston-Maine Airways then?
it must be nice, to be taking the trip pilots decades ago took as they moved on to bigger and faster machines. history relived live, man i'm so jealous right now....Quote:

Wow, I really feel bad that you have to leave them. Most pilots would not say such nice thing about their company. I wish you the best in you new adventure! CongratsQuote:
