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...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
i love nascar and fly to see this is awesome i to fly a rj 135
I saw the same thing - I don't see a lot of bouncing like that, but its eye opening to experience as a passenger, espeically if you're seated somewhere near/above the gear.
I stood no further than 15 yards from this aircraft and the other B722 this past Tuesday evening as I watched runway action and stared at the 727s for about 30 minutes. The black paint on this beauty, which has been on there quite some time now, is starting to get a bit dull. I love how these both still have their eyebrow windows. Roush's parts donor 721 sits a few stands away, begging for someone to reactivate it.

At first I thought the struts on the 727 needed servicing the way it was bouncing. Then I watched the other two planes take off. It appears Manchester could use a runway resurfacing.
I asked my friend who is a pilot based in Manchester about the condition of the runway and he said it is not that bad, so it is probably more an issue with the struts on the plane.
I believe I said that - you can re-read my original post. I said "They have been installed on many super 727s on positions one and three, but not on this one..."
Hate to break it to you boys, but that 727-200, N727NK that took off did NOT have P&W JT8D-200s on engines 1 and 3....It had THREE JT8D-17s..with Stage Three hushkits on them....
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
