That's cool.  The very first plane I flew on was a United 727.  Great plane.

I flew several times on the Ansett 722s here in Oz, beautiful planes to fly on.

Cool!  I used to work those beasts in real life.  There's nothing digital in that cockpit.  FedEx eventually got quite a few, turned them into two man, glass cockpits.  Saved weight, man hours, and money.

That first one especially is gorgeous!

 

My first airliner flight was a Northwest Orient 727 from Madison to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (you could almost walk, only 70 or some miles) - we boarded via the ventral stairs in the tail - so cool!

 

That was age 5....got to ride on quite a few after that...a favorite!

 

Keep 'em coming!
