Ihave flown ⁷27 first in 73 to st thomas & PR. San juan. Eastérn , Bermuda, 76 , 82 C,141 im USAF .then ⁷⁵7 A321. I still look forward to the flap sounds that we are use to but they are absent. Great group. I miss engineers where i dtudied in the air force 1979.
1:06:45. It’s one of the things I really respect about Patrick. He is very cognizant of staying out of the way and allowing the flight crew to perform their duties with zero interruptions from him. You would think it’s common sense but I imagine there have been some who have made it to the flight deck and made it all about them.
Thanks a lot, the first priority for me is always to deliver you guys some authentic content, thats feels like you are sitting right next to me watching the Pilots doing their job.
This was good video but I did noticed the Captain flew all the legs. No chance for the First officer to do one takeoff or one landing. Just my observation.
The crew only learned about the filming project a few hours before the flight, due to operational changes. This was supposed to be a training flight (Captain Jorge is instructor, F/O Zulfiqar trainee). In order to make the film happen, both agreed to skip training and leave all flying to the Captain for the film. In exchange, F/O did. all the sectors next day - under training. Thanks to this great crew for this lovely arrangement in support of the film 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'd always assumed those rear airstairs were closed in, and would not expose so much of the inner workings to passengers that would have been boarding/exiting.
What a nice crew.... 1979 I flew on the 727 on Eastern Airlines a lot of times during a roundtrip throughout the States, Mexico and the Carribeans. All for 369 $, no limits in 4 weeks. We were in the air nearly every day. Wonderful memories brought back by the cockpit-members. Best wishes from Germany .
I hope there comes a new chance to fly with this crew. Amazing friendly people, so nice. You feel this was an amazing day and it feels like having been together with them in the cockpit!
WOUUUUUUUU ESTOY MUY ADMIRADO POR EL VIDEO TAN PRACTICO EXPLICANDO TODO EL PROCEDIMIENTO DE PREPARACION DE LA CABINA Y LA FORMA EN QUE REALIZAN LA RUTINA DE CHEKING . ME GUSTO TANTO QUE ME SENTI QUE VIAJABA CON LOS PILOTOS Y SOBRE TODO CON UN PERSONAJE DE PILOTO BOLIVIANO POR QUE SOY DE BOGOTA COLOMBIA ,LOS FELICITO POR ESTAR EN UNO DE LOS MEJORES AVIONES CLASICOS EL 727 EL CUAL YO VIAJABA COMO PASAJERO POR TODA COLOMBIA ES ESPECTACULAR . MIS FELICITACIONES JORJE G
B727... quite an amazing classic after flying the Fokker 28 for Jetlink company in Kenya way back in the day. I must say I admire the flight Engineers seat being an Aircraft Engineer myself. ASTRAL company has come along way from the DC9 to classic wide bodies currently.
Good memories - i am 72 young years now, bu we flew every other leg, this guy is not letting the 2p fly. Maybe this is the policy of ASTRAL? Low time pilots can not do this for a while, but sitting absorbing experience..

Unbelievable, I have to meet that captain one day, fly and chat with him. I am a lover of the B727 as well! Great job performed by everybody! Thanks for this amazing video!
Still my favourite aircraft. I miss it….first aircraft I ever turned a wrench on. HS748, B721, B722, B732, B733, B734, B737, B762, AT43, AT45, AT72 in my history. B722 was labor intensive….often a snag wagon…….but she was beautiful. Those JT8D always sounded amazing pre or post STAGE 3 mods. The APU on the other hand left me with tinitis due to my stupidity 😂🤬. It’s too bad they couldn’t find a way to re-engine them with CFM’s or something similar. Those JT8D-2XX’s were a stop gap on the “Super” mod. Had they found a way to get modern efficient engines bolted to all 3 positions, I’m sure way more of these old girls would be buzzing around. The airframe itself to my recollection was a tank
What a classic Plane, the best of Boeing, and a bird that still makes us all Airliner lovers turn our heads and sigh whenever we're lucky to see one! FANTASTIC VIDEO!!
One of the greatest aircraft ever built. The S duct, the trijet, the 3 holer, the WhisperJet, the birds feathers, the ventral stairs, able to lift one third its gross weight in payload, 3 man cockpit, on and on plus it is a natural beauty graceful majestic and powerful...so capable. The Boeing 727... Acrossed the Decades of Time.
Use to work for a add company that to advertise for Braniff International Airlines that was away back when Harding Lawrence was chairman of the company in the 60s 70s just a short while ago We advertised for (TWA) Trans World Airlines but we dropped them they were an $10 million a year contract we picked up Braniff for a cool £18 million a year contract good money back then
This brings back memories of a trip around the USA I went on with my father as a 14 year old. We had a Delta standby ticket for three weeks. We flew on a few 727s and I managed to be invited to sit in the Captains seat (on the ground and pre-2001). If only I had a camera for a photo.
What a heartwarming video, you are all genuine good people. The world of aviation has no political barriers, just a pure love of flying, aircraft (especially the classic variety!👍) and all nationalities work together as one. Sounds like hippie nonsense in this dark and crazy world?. Then I’m a hippie..with an iPhone and many RU-vid subscriptions. Peace, man✌️😅
I would have to put this in my top 5 of all time Air-Clips movies. Absolutely loved the 727 (come on MSFS, someone pull the finger out for this bird) and the Captain was awesome. He wasn't letting the Co Pilot touch that Yoke was he lol? Having too much fun he was. 😁 Awesome job as always Patrick. You the man.

Hello Patrick! In my opinion, one of the most versatile aircraft ever built by Boeing, yes, it was the 727. I remember well other aircraft with the same power of operational scenario here in my city of Fortaleza, some time ago, more precisely in the 80's. airline called Trans Brasil, it had B 707 and B 727 aircraft and these aircraft changed roles during the day. For example, the B 707 arrived here in my city at 0630 in the morning on a cargo flight, all the cargo was quickly removed and then the seats were placed, for exactly at 1030 this same aircraft would take a flight with passengers, as well as the B 727 that had the same function, I remember that the B 727 had a name at the end that was... QC (Quick Change) As always Patrick, you have posted excellent videos. Greetings from Fortaleza, northeast of Brazil.
nice comment Gilberto loved reading the story about Fortaleza. Never heard that a airline was able to change a cargo plane to a passenger in 4 hours must be operated by excellent workers! even QC planes are really rare in the past did you work for that airline ? -greetings from Patrick
Very nice and thanks for the flight. I always loved the 727 and I love the fact we have these capable pilots and engineers still flying the old fashoned way.
I agree I also enjoy it more when im able to do a format where the captain and crew are able to explain facts about their daily work. Greetings from Patrick :)
