Classic Roush Fenway B727 Low Departure
Its always nice to catch these birds depart only 2 times a year from Manchester Regional. NASCAR performed at the 20th annual LENOX Industrial Tools 301 this weekend just North of Manchester in Loudon, NH. Boeing 727-212(Adv) / N727NK (Roush Air) Embraer ERJ-145LR / N138DE & N500DE (Owned by Dale Earnhardt) (youtu.be) Más...Rousch used to bring his two 727-100's into KCON for the Loudon when I worked there as a kid. Pretty impressive on a 6005' strip!!
Would had been good if we could see them racing down the run way .. side by side by side ..
Don't forget...these are NASCAR guys. Now, if they were NHRA...
LOL I wish!
Gordon Casey....you are correct and I made an error. Engines 1 and 3 have been upgraded to 217s on Fed Ex 727s and some others. Thanks for the heads up. Gary
That said, this aircraft does not have a JT8D-200 series in the center engine. That would require huge amounts of modification. They have been installed on many super 727s on positions one and three, but not on this one. It may have a JT8D-17 in the #2 spot however.
One of Roush's 721s remains in Charlotte, sadly non-airworthy however.
