Ho volato su questa meraviglia nel 1994
Volo Iberia da Madrid a Tenerife los rodeos e al ritorno Tenerife Barcellona
E nel 1995 da Malaga a Madrid
E ne vado fiero
Uno dei jetliners più belli
Peccato solo per le winglets 👍

Oh, I like that one!! Very nice approach shots. I would have been clicking away with my Canon. LOL. You know you could blindfold me and taxi a 727 passed me and I could tell it was a 727. I think there's a special sound that comes from the center engine that makes it sound very unique versus other JT8D powered airplanes.

[@jonahair747]

The cloud layers in the back with the lighting made it a neat shot.

@@jonahair747 Yeah, they did!!

Hi im new so sorry if i sound weird but i was wondering why do you always film the same type of aircraft(727,717,md80,757) is there reason for that? I would love to know also its rare to see 727 anymore im young so ive never flown on them but they are really pretty and loud😆

[@jonahair747]

No need to be sorry haha. I upload what’s left of “True Aviation”. After the airplanes that I’m uploading are gone, we are left with quiet - modern, soulless, plastic pieces of junk airplanes. I am not looking forward to that day at all and that will probably end my passion for aviation. So, I will upload as many “classics” as I can onto this channel until that terrible day comes.

[@Tjomas972]

Aw all right to be honest I like the new aviation probably because I'm Young but the old one is really cool too. We all have our opinions and I respect yours😊
