Aircraft retirement

I'll be sad to see the B727 go. I'm definitely going to grab one of these flights and remember that most of my childhood flights were in B727's. I'll also remember the hundreds of hours I spent in the uncomfortable 727 forward jumpseat during my days working as a dispatcher for American Trans Air. Still, after all these years, the 727 is one great looking lady!

I will miss the 727 as well, it's my favorite airliner (the B747 is a close 2nd). What I really miss is not seeing the 727's in passenger service anymore.
