How the Boeing 727-200F is used
A three-engine narrowbody freighter with a rear airstair and strong short-field performance. This is the aircraft that built the overnight express industry.
Around twenty-four tonnes on sectors no widebody could justify, from runways no widebody could use. Noise rules and fuel burn have withdrawn most of the fleet.
