The 727 is a wonderful plane to say the least.  It looks amazing, performs great, and is a joy to fly.  Captain Sim did a really good job modeling the systems.  It does not have an FMS so you don't have to worry about that.  There are a few minor problems however (look under my post about things that need to be changed in 2.2).  I give the solution for a lot of people's initial troubles, all you have to do is add my line into the aircraft.cfg.  If you have never flown a "classic plane before, this may be a big surprise for you.  It is a power hog, meaning on approach with full flaps, you need a lot of power to keep it in the air.  Besides the great appearance, this bird sports really great fps.  I can honestly say that this aircraft will stay on my harddrive for many years to come.  I just can't get enough of it.
