Shorty, you're the Forrest Gump of aviation photographers, you seemed to have been at every major event! ;D Great shots.

Found one of NZ7273's sister ships (well I guess it is) in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry  |

N7017U was the 17th Boeing 727 built and was purchased by United Airlines in 1964. Apparently you can walk through this 727 and see all the working parts. Can't really see how you can do that walk through given the aeroplane is hanging from the ceiling  |

Apparently you can walk through this 727 and see all the working parts. Can't really see how you can do that walk through given the aeroplane is hanging from the ceiling It's built into the mezzanine floor (or probably more correctly, the floor is built into the aircraft). You can walk all the way through, entrance back of the wing and out the front. Even had a retired United pilot there answering questions from the kiddies (I was there during field trip season and there were about 427 million of them running around.) Very cool museum - they also have the U505 - captured German sub. www.msichicago.org/ |
