You obviously had better luck with the 727-100s than I did! I personally preferred the 727-Adv, although the -100 was a little more "nimble".
I was a F/O, and I once landed a 727-100 in SBA one morning so bad, that when I opened the cockpit door (after all the people were off), the head F/A was standing just outside of it with her panyhose down to her ankles. Capt and S/O were laughing very hard! Those bums!
