am glad that the DHL 727 is going because whenever that flight departs it makes a hell of a racket leaving auckland. DAMN if you didnt have earmuffs , the noise could even make you deaf.

and to think 30 years ago DC-8 , 707 , 737 and your 727 was mainstream although at the time it was the turning point , so the ole 727 didnt do to bad .

727's are great aircrafts for sure. just not a big fan of the noise that they make. but thats just me anyway.

I remember we were waiting outisde our gate on our way to Nadi and the whole building shook while it was rolling passed it was so loud, sounded like bloody concorde or something!!
Don't forget the dirty engines too and there huge exhaust trails which are easily seen!
Still the louds girls are the best types!! lol
