HELP! 727s?!
I need all FT help here... My son has become very interested in flying... I am certain I had nothing to do with it! In any event, he has challenged himself to fly on as many Boeing aircraft, as possible. He knows the 707 is pretty much out. But there are several 727s still out there. Does anyone know of any commercially operated ones... that are not in Africa? http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif
I appreciate any help or thoughts! |
I think Lloyd Aero Boliviano still run quite a few.

Champion Air flies 727s. I believe many of the air cargo carriers fly the 727 (in addition to the DC8) if he can somehow get a ride (you can always box him up and ship him somewhere).

Champion Air works with major vacation wholesalers such as Apple Vacations of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and MLT Vacations of Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota. If you are planning a vacation, the professionals at either organization can work with you to put together the perfect holiday! </font> |
Pan Am flies 727. You know, that airline that flies mostly out of Sanford, FL, and Portsmouth, NH.

Aerocontinente in Peru.

Maybe he can convince John Travolta to give him a ride in his 707. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/biggrin.gif

He can sign up for the Air National Guard and then take a hop on one of the many KC-135's they still fly as tankers or AWACS planes. The KC-135 is the military version of the 707.

A couple of years ago we flew an Apple Vacations charter to the Dominican Republic. The plane was a UPS 727 freighter that was fitted out with passeger seats for the weekend. Except for the cargo hatch on the side it was hard to tell what it's "day job" was (we entered and left through a normal passenger door).

Miami Air, a charter carrier, flies them as well...so does Planet Airways, another charter...

Feel like a trip to Indonesia? Looks like Merpati still operates daily 727 service between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Just remember the song (with apologies to Leslie Gore) ...

Sun Country Airlines still uses the 727 I think - based in MSP.
