About the Boeing 727-200F

A three-engine narrowbody freighter with a rear airstair and excellent short-field performance, and 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 retired most of the fleet.
