    LGA is 727 Country (Circa 1973)

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Thanks for posting, Great Shot! One of the few advantages of wearing Spectacles of a fairly strong prescription is they can be used as a magnifying glass when needed. Because of this extra assistance I am about 90 pct sure the aircraft rotating on 4 is a TWA DC-9-14.

    Cheers

    Not to depress anyone, but some of what you don't see in this picture are....

    Mohawk Fh-227
    Mohawk B111
    Allegheny Convair 580
    Eastern Electras

    and probably an occasional DC-6

    among others.

    The irony is I used to watch this stuff and comment how boring it was and wished I could see a Continental 727 (Gold Tail), Western 737, Southwest 737, Airwest DC-9,etc.

    Just goes to show you, be careful what you wish for when you say "Oh no, not another 747"
