Boeing 727-100 (N8842E)

That's a -200

Vintage photo! An airline with a very checkered past, reading the history is almost like a fiction novel, and the personalities involved. Rickenbacker, Lorenzo, even Donald Trump. I once knew a guy that was a captain at Eastern and lost his job during the labor issues.

Somewhere in Florida, MIA, FLL or PBI, 42E turning off after a cross-wind landing. See the Australian pines in the background, wind appears from NE at 15 given the deflection of the tree tops.

The post about 42E landing is questionable as per flt cntrl surfaces set for take off not landing and it's definitely a -200

Nice. I remember flying on those.

B727-225. last seen @ KMHV 1995, broken up. good example of a real workhorse.
easy to hand fly & very stable going to CAT 2 minimums.

Every time I see Eastern's livery (the vintage Eastern), I think about how they went bankrupt while we were on Spring Break....and we got stuck in Miami. Good memories, thanks mom and dad!

It could be after landing if they were in the process of retracting the flaps, because the TE flaps appear to be less than 15 but slightly more than 5. -200

I'm curious about the tail section off the nose, as well. N

Yes Mark, that is 200
