LOL, me too!

I loved the 727...I used to be a jet mechanic back in the day (military, not commercial) and I got a great vibe from that plane...it was nice looking seemed solidly built, and very reliable.

I hated flying on DC-10’s...it seemed like a Frankenstein aircraft to me, thrown together to compete in the big widebody market when it first opened up.

I think that crash in Chicago in 1979 was the one that really spooked me.
