B727 at Meigs Field?
Wow, a B727 at Meigs Field!
Nice video on YouTube of a United Airlines B727 landing at Meigs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV4tgjSPgks Did they have commercial flights into Meigs Field at one time? I only ask because of the TWexpress plane that is visible in one of the video shots seen, not because of the B727. David |

He said a light (i.e. empty) 747 could land in something like 2500 feet of runway. -Robert |

Yes there were commercial flights at Meigs. I remember Meigs to
Springfield, Ill. for one. And that was within a few years before it closed. |

With how many blown tires? :-) About 10 years ago the closed a small airport near me with a real questionable width and quailty runway, I think about 2400'. It's now only open to helo operations and houses a branch for a local A&P school. The school either purchased, or accepted a donation for an well aged 727 for it's students, and I am told it was flown it empty. I have had an opportunity to see several 727, MD-80s, 767s and DC-10s flown empty for test hops after heavy maintenance, and it's amaizing how well they perform when flown that light. |

@b75g2000hsg.googlegroups.com: A local DE flew 747s. He said a light (i.e. empty) 747 could land in something like 2500 feet of runway. After he landed on that 2500' runway, how did he take off again? |

I remember visiting the museum over 10 yrs. ago and seeing it hanging from the ceiling. There's a walkway from the balcony that allows you to go inside the plane. Definitely a unique display.
