My Dad captained the 727 for United in the 60’s, I remember he said the pilots referred to it as the ‘kitty car’.

We flew on a Mexicana 727 from Mexico City to Ixtapa some years ago. The pilot apologized for our late start and to make up for the error, he said he would provide a tour of the nearby smoking volcano that had recently coughed up some ash and smoke.
He banked the big airplane over on its side as we passed over the smoking crater. The interior of the plane smelled like sulfur for the rest of the trip south. Chiwawa !
