Have I already stated that I absolutely love tri-jets. Well, of course I do, that is why I am building a Lockheed L-1011 simulator. My second favorite tri-jet is the Boeing 727. Just like the L-1011, the B727 is no longer in regular service in North America. The pictures in this posting are from the the UNITED Boeing 747 tail number N7004U .... according to the Pima Air Museum folks .. the first B727.
It is certainly interesting to see that the "S" duct design on the B727 is much more "free" standing than on the L-1011. The "S" duct for the #2 engine on the L-1011 is a lot more integrated into the fuselage as compared to the B727.
Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Love the B727.
