I know it's not directly your guys' responsibility, but is there any chance of the QW (read: with winglets) version of the B727 models at any time? After painting that Fordair B727 I have a hankering to do more private 727s and it seems they're all QWs these days. Plus, most of the FedEx and much of the UPS fleet have been re-winged as well.
Just wondering...

Simple answer No. The models are, as is from E.Cantu and unless someone modifies them to a winglet version then we will only have the present models.

That's sorta what I figured, but I thought it was worth a shot.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT .... we´ve still got a few B721´s running around here in Colombia which haven´t been converted .... whilst others have been with both HK engines and winglets.
I suspect the wingleted and HK aircraft service those particular routes which are more noise sensitive !

I was thinking in terms of the ones being used as private jets nowadays. There seems to be an interesting mix of HK, RE and QW planes, and any combination of the three. But then, I suppose that with there being so many around and the B727 having been in production so long that's onlyt natural.
I remember living about 2km from Ottawa-Uplands (CYOW) in the early Eighties and 727s were, without a doubt, the loudest aircraft that operated out of there on a regular basis.

I grew up about outside of the Bronx, NY on Long Island Sound and I can say that on calm days you could easily hear the plethora of 727's landing and taking off at LGA, and thats with the airport being about 8 or 9 miles away. |

A wag once commented that the 727 was the most efficient conversion of jet fuel to noise ever created.

Probably before they heard the British B727 .... in the form of the HS TRIDENT .... which, I understand, dtermioned "more definitively" the meaning of "NOISE"   ;D Maybe .... that particular "wag" hadn´t ever heard of the TRIDENT .... let alone head one "LITERALLY" !!!!   And the British BAC ONE-ELEVEN also falls into this same categeory too. Have a look at the audio previews (videos) Benoit has compiled in regard to our new AEROMUSICA BAC ONE-ELEVEN and TRIDENT soundpacks which are currently under development .... tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=generalchat&action=display&thread=42542 or 3 seperate previews posted there now .... 1 just added a few minutes ago !
