4 years seniority in SLC at this time. This is great to see now! Now, 29 years senior … boy how things change .. thanks for sharing

Did this flight have an inflight happy meal from McDonald’s

Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Moderately decent odds I could have appeared in this video. Through mid July 1998, I was working for a firm in Salt Lake City, and the job had me flying in and out of SLC 3-4 times per month. In July of that year, I took a job working for Hudson General at the SLC airport, and spent my days working on the ramp.

that northwest 727 might still be climbing

I miss the old Delta Livery

Allegheny in 1997? What airline had that call sign?

Easily the best Delta livery.

Have never seen the front of rear engine aircraft view, thank you for your upload.

Favorite DL and UA livery. Only other livery I loved was the Ron Allen livery.

Back when Manchester only had one runway. I remember them days .

Greased it.

I miss the loud T tail jetliners that left a long smoke trail...farewell to the Boeing 727

wow long time ago

United was the first Airline I flew on July 1983 BWI-PIT-BWI Flight 473 to PIT 727-200 Seat 6A Flight 470 back to BWI also a 727-200 Seat 6F

Damn all the comments are so old

Great video.

I flew it from the right seat. Wonderful plane from a pilot's standpoint, but like most transports had quirks and flaws. Relative to today's fans, then engines were underpowered, especially during takeoff. That coupled with a high-speed wing meant relatively long takeoff runs when compared to today's planes. Awesome feel and control authority. Solid and stable on approach. Zero automation. The autopilot was little more than a wing leveler with altitude hold. I'd fly it tomorrow if I could. I loved it.

What month was this?

4:31 "The moving walkway is for your traveling convenience. Please stand to the right in single file, so others may walk past you on the left. Thank you for your courtesy." Oh gosh, memories!

Hello, I am an archival producer working on a documentary and we are interested in licensing a portion of one of your clips for our film. Please send me an email if possible, i would love to speak to you further about this . derek.bannar@gmail.com . thanks so much

just one big flap! Simple and it works!

And now we are jammed into narrow body cattle cars and pay for the privilege.

Miss these so much. That sound!!

I miss working on that Delta 727-200c.

Excellent 👍👍. Awesome aircraft. Subscribed

The good old days of flying. When meals where served on coach and short flights. Passengers where treated like human beings and not stuffed like cattle. I remember flights attendants announcing the gate numbers for those who had connections.

Little bit of ground turbulence

Wow this quality is better than most modern aviation videos

It was a Dc-10-10 or Dc-10-30?

EATERN AIRLINES WAS MY FAVORITE CARRIER.

I ALWAYS FLEW IN L1011s TOO BAD THEY ARE ABSOLETE.

Yes 727's were loud, but not as loud as a Concorde. My Step Dad worked for Northwest Orient in Las Vegas, & as such I was able to go behind the scenes a lot (escorted or on permission of course). 727's were there most common jet into Vegas. I remember standing in the open jet way, & a plane was pulling in, & at 250 feet away it was deafing, I had to plug my ears. Months later (Oct 1987 or 1988) Air France spent 2 weeks offering half way to Hawaii, & back Concorde trips. That time I was at ground level as it was pulling in & at nearly twice the distance it was equally as loud as the 727. That's an experience I will never forget. It's weird to now see that suspended at a museum, & to able to say I remember when it flew.

A DC-10, AND Maui! What could be better? Flying over pineapple fields, I once picked. steve

The sequenced leading edge slats was an interesting feature of the 727.

Well never have I seen SLATS Soo depressed & Expressed on an aircraft before, thing of the past - one just doesn't see such Slat expression on now days modern super critical aircraft.. now days very very little slat expression is needed on modern super critical wing, the slightest gust or brisk headwind an minimal engine power is all that needed to saw now!!..

My first ever flight: UA 727-200 BWI-ORD, back in June, 1984. I miss the 727 and the JT8D!

Hopefully Captain Granger porked that flight attended that was on the horn.

flaps deployed during taxi.

Love that leading edge.

Ahh yes the good ol days, back before airlines went their greedy over subsidized ways and flying in general wasn't as expensive like it is now

I miss the 727, one of the best airliner.

United was the very first Airline I flew on and on the 727-200 between BWI-PIT-BWI July 1983 Unoted Flight 473 between BWI-PIT and Flight 470 PIT-BWI Flight 470

Hah, a TWA airliner... haven't seen those since prior to 9/11

I flew the most I ever have in my life in 1997, and was on a lot of 727s.

Are you sure that's 400 series? Delta only flies the 767-300 between SLC and HNL.

Arguably the most beautiful jetliner America has ever produced. Also, fairly quiet ride at the front of the bus too.

Long takeoff roll! Slow climb rate too for a pretty short ride. Must have ripped down the runway for 9000-some feet.

Interesting, the pilot chose a lesser degree of flaps than usual for this planes, good video!

didn't it have a headlight on the forward flaps if I remember can someone tell me thanks
