IFL Jumpseating
Hello IFL people, I have a bunch of time off coming up, the honey-do list is complete, the camping and fishing needs a rest, and the wife and kids are going out of town for a week to visit her in-laws.
I wanna check off some bucket list nerdisms and Jumpseat on a CV-580 and 727. Is there any schedules you folks know of that would allow this to happen within the US over, say, a day or two? Would prefer to go out on one type, come back on another. Or would that be impossible with your schedule?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have much that will help with them, but there are some cool planes operated by 135 companies in AK. For a DC-6 ride you could make your way up to Anchorage and fly with Everts out to King salmon, heard they sometimes go low level through Lake Clark Pass. That would beat a 727 ride in my book. Believe they have a C46 as well. GL

Kind of a cool idea for a nerd's day out. Depending on where you are we (Atlas) can get you to and from ANC easily.
CVG still gets Kalitta 2 727s from time to time.
Mia has a CV580 that runs daily down to Jamaica.
The East Caribbean might be a little more fun, but a wee but harder to get to since AA no longer has a San Juan hub. The are some pretty neat routes flying various places out of Saint Maarten.

The CRJ is not guaranteed to create as much nostalgia as the CV580/B727...

Like Hollandaise?
What's your schedule? Can you be in PTK in 20 minutes?

If you want to ride the DC-6 or C-46 bring clothes you don't mind getting greasy/oily.
