727 KEWR?

[threeholerglory]

I believe it was the 30th (maybe 31st?) I could have sworn I saw a 727 on the approach vectors to TEB and then 22 at EWR some time mid-afternoon...looked like it might have been a classic Lufthansa-esque paint...can anyone confirm or deny this? I know my eyes aren't what they used to be, but my pants don't shorten themselves for just anything looking like a stretch 737 with engines on the tail...

that may have been it...i can't remember the colors but it had that circular emblem on the tail. are they a normal operator into EWR? I've not seen a 727 come over the house for as long as i can remember until the other day.

Yes, they are a normal operator to EWR, but usually the flight comes in during the night, and leaves in the morning.

It was flight CJT991 (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CJT991) from Hamilton.

thanks for the info! i was outside talking to my neighbor and heard/saw the sleek sexiness of the 727 and knew what it was immediately...thought it might have been a rare visitor being that it was in daylight hours. my spotter side was pissed off that I didn't have the camera, but alas, boner was achieved nonetheless getting to see one fly.

Yup, around 11pm arrival, though.

Senga's probably editing his pic of the Cargojet arrival from runway side in perfect light.
