"Sorry, that's 4000 km (about 2500 miles)."

Might be a bit more since the a/c had no pax or cargo. But that assumes that this one guy could get the craft fully-fueled without attracting a lot of attention. Pretty tall order.

I saw 4200 Miles here -- but I just noticed after reading your post that those with some auxiliary tanks.

They are selling 727-s as exec planes.

This truly exceptional aircraft is equipped with winglets and the Stage 3 FedEx Hush-kit. The aircraft has been recently fitted with the newest generation Auxiliary Fuel Tanks for extended range and performance.

The winglets and auxiliary tanks offer the following performance enhancements:

7% shorter runway length
8% shorter time to altitude
7% less fuel burn
4200 mile range with IFR reserves
