Pan American
Airways Boeing 727-214 Adv N375PA
(c/n 20875)
The Dash 200
Adv(anced) 727 had a strengthened airframe, new thrust reversers,
automatic braking
and spoilers, and
noise reducing nacelles which differed it from the regular
-200. This aircraft was
some 20 ft
longer than the original unstretched model as can be clearly seen in
this nice
shot taken by
Juerg
Haeberli at
Geneva's Cointrin Airport in 1985, just after Pan Am had acquired
N375AA from
Pacific
Southwest Airlines. By that time the aircraft had already been in
service for 10 years. Note
that the
fuselage
cheatline had
disappeared and a large "Pan Am' identified the airline, although the
globe
logo was
retained. The 727 was used world-wide by Pan American
and in Europe it flew the feeder
services
linking up with
transatlantic services at London, Paris and Frankfort.
