I remember when it was introduced. It was a remarkable aircraft. I had no idea that more than 1800 were sold. That's amazing in and of itself.

With what business flying I had to do at one time, I think over 3/4 of it was in 727's. I became so comfortable I only noticed when I did catch another jet, just felt different. The others weren't uncomfortable but just different. Maybe the word I'm looking for is 'familiar'. :shrug:
