| Great job by Capt. Thomas, thanks for posting. I saw the aircraft at the museum couple of years ago and couldn't believe that while they had ATC audio of it landing at Meigs, there wasn't any video of this achievement. Now finally I get to see how it looked! |

| The 727-100, especially if it retained the nose-wheel brakes, is supurb at short-field landings. With one caveat: you don't want the thing to float. This pilot did a great job getting the mains to stick---he probably could have only used half the runway if he had applied max brakes and reverse. Great job! |

| Just excellent! I love your quote "We don't practice short field landings in the 727" HAHA! My favorite coverage was the one showing the 72 with 603AS and 104GL I have worked both of those aircraft. Ahh the good ole CGX days. |

| Ironically, regional jets have poor short field performance capability. None of the 50 seat aircraft presently in operation have leading edge high-lift devices like those which were standard equipment on the Boeing 727. Ironic because the RJ's were considered to be replacement for the smaller "mainline" jets. |
