The plane arrived from Larnaca There was two days at Ben Gurion airport Took off for Amman Did not stop in the field And from there he went on to Dubai The reason for stopping at Amman Because there is no relationship between Israel and the Persian Gulf countries So the planes land in Amman return to the runway and take off
Daaaaaaaamn. That is a beautiful 727. Sucks you never see any of them anymore.
Wow I love the second shot! Incredible. 😍
OOOOOOOOOFFF that is quite old.
Anyways #3 is my fav pic.
Over 52 years old, still flying, and looks great. Amazing.
Nice pics.
Since 1967, wow, such a beauty!
Here’s some stuff i found about it:
Beautiful pictures! Love the 727!
He really has a respectable history
That’s a 727-100, the original variant. The -200 is 20 feet longer. I flew on many as a kid, mostly with United. Great pics that make me long for the old days.
When I clicked on this thread and saw your profile, I knew that I was going to see some quality shots. Nice catch!
Thank you very much Trying to take the best pictures
It is amazing that planes that are old fly still! Many airlines retire their planes after a much shorter time!
Great pictures!
You can’t really compare scheduled airlines to charter air carriers. Airlines try to keep their planes up in the air as much as they can thus they need them to be reliable and ready at all times. With the amount of hours and cycles they put on, older planes just can’t keep up without periodic maintenance, this the need for newer aircraft. It’s a completely different type of flying, altogether.
Damnnn…that is one nice plane…and very old!
The 727-200 has a noticeably longer fuselage and rear cabin doors, features the -100 doesn’t have. A count of the cabin windows would also help confirm the identity of VP-BAP.
I’ll tell the truth the first time I see the 727 And I really don’t know the model
I just posted in the rarest aircraft topic about this plane! It is so cool that this plane made it from my home airport all the way to Israel!
What airport he was in
Oh yes it was in Rifle, Colorado.
