Air France B727 liveries on the way ?

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

So as all the F-BOJx and F-BPJx series were apparently built/registered between 1968 and 1971, should I then assume that they were "original" B727-200 ?

I'd have to "ASSUME" that .... but .... also assume that you've assumed correctly too .... since (once again) the -200 ADVC's didn't start being delivered until "1972".

This also means/assumes that some standard -200's were also delivered during 1972 as well .... these once being the very last of that particular production line ijn advance of the first -200 ADVC's to be produced.

I'll consult my "BOEING PRODUCTION" data base later (when I have time .... just a bit too busy right now) .... and "IF" there's any need to reverse what I've mentioned above, or comment further, then I'll do so

In response to "AMR's" query.

I've now consulted my Bible/s .... my "BOEING AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION" database, and then cross-referenced it's information with my entirely separate "WORLD AIRLINE FLEETS" data base, and can confirm that AF B727-200 deliveries commenced from 1969 .... as follows ....


C/N # 19543 to C/N 19546 .... 4X aircraft covering F-BOJA to F-BOJD .... were each delivered during 1969.

C/N # 19862 to C/N 19865 .... 5X aircraft covering F-BOJE to F-BOJE and F-BOJF and also including F-BPJG - F-BPJI .... were each delivered during 1969 also.

C/N # 20075 .... 1X aircraft only (possibly an option excercised as all other AF B72-200 production appears in blocks) covering F-BPJJ .... was delivered during 1969 as well.

C/N # 20202 to C/N # 20204 .... 3X aircraft covering F-BPJK to F-BPJM were each delivered during 1970.

C/N # 20209 to C/N # 20211 .... 3X aircraft covering F-BPJN to F-BPJP were each delivered during 1970 also.

C/N # 20470 .... 1X aircraft only (possibly another option) covering F-BPJQ .... was delivered during 1971.

C/N # 20538 to C/N # 20540 .... 3X aircraft covering F-BPJR to F-BPJT were each delivered during 1972.

EACH OF THE ABOVE WERE B727-228 AIRCRAFT .... PRE -200 ADVC PRODUCTION/DELIVERIES.


Then ....

C/N # 19683 to C/N # 19684 .... 2X aircraft covering F-BPJU (ex N528PS) to F-BPJV (ex N529PS) were each acquired from PACIFIC SOUTHWEST AIRLINES and during 1972

THE ABOVE 2X AIRCRAFT HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN DELIVERED TO PSA AS B727-214 AIRCRAFT DURING 1967 AND 1968 RESPECTIVELY .... AND WERE ALSO .... PRE -200 ADVC PRODUCTION/DELIVERIES.


Then ....

C/N # 22081 to C/N # 22085 .... 5X aircraft covering F-GCDA to F-GCDE were each delivered during 1980.

C/N # 22287 to C/N # 22290 .... 4X aircraft covering F-GCDF to F-GCDI were each delivered during 1981.

EACH OF THE ABOVE WERE B727-228 ADVC AIRCRAFT .... POST -200 ADVC PRODUCTION/DELIVERIES.

No mate

I didn't assume anything ;D

All my info has consistantly referred to only the late *CD batch as being Adv and not the others.

That date back to the time the *CD's were new
