First Boeing 727 Makes Last Flight
 

64,495 / 27 = 2,388.7 hrs per year avg.

2,388.7 / 365 = 6.54 hrs per day....for 27 years. :eek:

That's amazing.

Hours, schmours! Its the cycles, man!;) There are quite a few Saabs with the same service years and a bunch more cycles... and some may be getting close on hours too. Probably Jetstreams and 1900s too.

Bounce, bounce, bounce... that's the life of a short haul bird.

Loved flying the old 3 Holer. The crews made it even more fun.

That's a fact.

Protect Essential.

Window heat, pitot heat, what's to eat?:D

I never flew the -100 enough to do anything more than annoy people with my proficiency with pneumatic pressurization. But, for some reason, I still know that the stall warning test discs spun counter clockwise at 720rpm.

All I remember from 787 ground school is "the system is highly automated and no pilot input is required".

It's a new era in aviation.

The -100 was way more a pilot's airplane than the -200, the big ol' ox horn yokes, the angle slide seats, ahhhh, those were the days.... What?
