Nitefrater,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I really should have clarified my point. I did understand the smallest Boeing part, but the term "baby" just seemed so out of place. Maybe for a smaller Bus sure, that fits. But for the 727? It is older than many of the pilots who fly it. "Dinosaur" is more like it.
It was the smallest Boeing for me as well, but one of the most fun even as a F/E. I was sad to see them go from UAL. Hope you all can keep and fly them for as long as possible.
All the best,
SP
