A 727 is a fuel guzzler and loud by today’s standards...

Still? With different engines, perhaps? I remember flying in them in the 1980s, not the noise, but the quick and hard landings.

Been a while, but the last 757 I remember was a LA-Boston red eye "WhisperJet" service.

I was on one that landed so hard the oxygen masks came down along with a few ceiling panels.

Anyway, only a few are still flying, so nobody’s going to develop new engines or hush kits. I think the last major operator was FedEx.
