Classic livery, sweet callsign, thundering JT8D power... This old gal has it all. The vintage sound will transport you back to the Jet Age of the 1960's, when the 727 was the bestselling jetliner in the world. Despite being equipped with hushkits, the loud and proud legendary trijet can still show modern airliners how it's done and give fighter jets a run for their money.

"The 727 has eluded me for half a decade. Ever since my first encounter with Amerijet in 2011 (before I knew how to take decent pictures), I knew it was my destiny to catch another 727. But many years went by without success. The only exception was the Zero G 727 at FLL in 2019. Sadly, that takeoff wasn't as impressive as I expected, being only slightly louder than an MD80. The true 727 power still remained undocumented... Until now." BJG

Turn it up and feel the sound of "Dragster 726" departing for New Orleans, with a load of (presumably) racehorses. The audio is 100% authentic and unmodified.
