Significant birthday 2/09/13 for the Boeing 727
Sat Feb 09, 2013 12:02 pm
On Feb. 9, 1963 Boeing's E-001 departed Renton Muni (KRNT) on it's first test flight which ended @ Everett's KPAE. E-001 went from N 72700 to N 7001U as it then spent the next 27 years on UNITEDS routes, it's last landing came @ KPAE when it was donated to Seattles MoF as ' The Spirit of Seattle' repainted by UAL back into it's original 1965 paint scheme.
So time to raise a toast to the workhorse of commercial jets, the three holer.

Oh man, between this and another thread I thought the whole of WIX was going all out to appreciate me. 
Oh well, at least I now have a cool b-day factoid.

My goof up!
I just noticed I didn't identify anywhere that the posting dealt with the 727, so I fixed that in the title, when the fish ain't bittin' change the bait so we'll see-
