It's got to be a blast flying one of those birds...The closest I got was flying the PamAm 747 sim in San Fran way
back when.

The 747 is an interesting and enjoyable airplane to fly, but it is different due to its size. Without question I
preferred the 727.


I remember rolling in to a turn, and it kind of slowly came around. I was able to fly it for about 5 minutes as a part
of a tour of their facility.

I have heard the '27 was much more responsive. There is a video at the Chicago COSI where they have the 727 on display.
It shows them landing it at Meigs field. Only a couple of souls on board and very light. Nice short landing....
