The illustrious list of former operators of this classic Martin starts with Eastern, followed by Mohawk and Ozark. Bought by Fairchild-Hiller Corp in 7.67 (no doubt as a trade-in by Ozark for FH-227s) and passed through private hands till bought by Petroleum AT in 1977. Leased to the embryonic DHL a couple of years later but broken up 1983. Note cabin curtains still fitted

The Stapleton airport authority couldn't have been more helpful and took me to this position where I could shoot rotations at 50mm. This 727 joined Western in 3.77 and was sold after the Delta merger to FedEx in 1.96 for freighter conversion, operated in their colours by Morningstar Air Express as C-FMEI; donated Alameda College Oakland, CA in 06.13
