Hello all,
I was so lucky to get a real 727 shell. It's not in it's best condition, the only useful thing to do to do with it until i start the "overhaulin", is to bring my cigarettes and cofee with me, enter the cockpit.. and just look at the buttons.. maybe try switching some of them.. move the pedals.. try the tq.. and just relax in the seat after a day hard at work (Ivar, you know all about this) :D So that's why Smokie Saloon
Well.. i'ts not that bad. And the plan is to make a sim out of it, i guess it will be a merge between 727, 737classic and NG. The overhead, is a 707, and the engineers panle is from a DC10 i think. The last owner did add those items, just to fill in the empty spaces. Front windows are original, rest is plexi. 2 seats, seems like boieng passengers seat somthing. Pedals are working, also the adjustments, and the column, from a 707 i think the last owner told me.
Here are some picts taken of the transport and it's new grave yard.
