 AVIANCA COLOMBIA B727-24C HK-1271 "Almirante Padilla" (1973) .... formerly CONTINENTAL AIRLINES N2471 (1967).  Lindos .... A-B-S-O-L-U-T-A-M-E-N-T-E amigo ! What Camilo has presented here is just the start folks .... in respect of AVIANCA and the B727. The B727 played a major role in AVIANCA, and Colombia generally, from 1966 until fairly recently. That clean high-lift wing (like that of the equally agile DC9/MD series too) was ideal for many of Colombia's hot and high altitude, or otherwise geographically restricted, airport environments. Just as a matter of interest .... although gone now from the AVIANCA/SAM, AEROREPUBLICA, and SATENA/FAC fleets, a small number of B727-100's still remain in service within Colombia .... operated as freighters (LINEAS AEREAS SURAMERICANAS) and in the form of both standard -100F, and 100F SUPER 27 aircraft with both winglets and hush-kits.

Nice liveries!!!!
It's good to know there's still some 727's either as freighters or private. Watching such masterpiece either landing or taking off is a blessing.
Muy bonitos!!!
Regards!!
