Video - Iran Air B727 at Tehran on Oct 18th 2011, landed without nose gear
An Iran Air Boeing 727-200, registration EP-IRR performing flight IR-742 from Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia) to Tehran Imam Khomeini (Iran) with 94 passengers and 19 crew, was on approach to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport around 15:20L (11:50Z) when the crew did not receive a down and locked indication for the nose gear and aborted the approach. Following unsuccessful troubleshooting the crew decided to divert to Tehran's Mehrabad Airport where a low approach confirmed the nose gear was… (www.youtube.com) 기타...19 crew on a B-727??? still flying a B-727??? Were those B-747-100s in the background...
My thoughts exactly. I didn't realize there were any 727s still in service.
I would have to wonder about 19 crew. I didn't know any were still in regular service. There are quite a few around in private or soecialty service. I don't even know if any are in charter service. I've seen then in Race Horse transport down at Hot Springs, belonging to some outfit in California.
In Iran anything is possible.
A lot of airlines in 3rd world countries still use the 727 on passenger services. Most 727's are used as cargo planes. Fed Ex still has a fleet of about 60 727's, though they are being withdrawn from service over the next several years, being replaced by the 757.
That's too bad that Fed Ex is getting rid of them.
Yep to bad but gotta stay modern these days.
Ryan: you sure about 757's, I thought they were doing 777's. 757's have been out of production since October of 04
They are replacing them with used 757's, I don't know who they are getting them from. But they are also getting 777's too.
