I'd have to agree, the 727 is my favorite... during my internship at ASTAR/DHL I had the opportunity to fly the 72 sim many times and jumpseat a few places... an amazing aircraft indeed.

This gorgeous plane right here. Cruises faster than a 747 and is just the sexiest beast out there:

I didn't know an L1011 went faster than a 747. What was its cruise speed?

Cruised at .90, with the barber pole at .95!

Does anyone else notice a common theme here? It seems like most pilots hold the ole' steam gauge 3-Holers near and dear to their heart.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with that particular fetish

My favorites have always been the L-1011 and the DC-8-63. Always thought it would be really cool being a PFE.

Nice pix Planespotta & maddog81!!!!
