McKeenan Aviation proudly presents the Boeing 727-100C.
NOTE: Get the Demo version at the SLURL ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Waft/153/99/1847/ ), and try before you buy!
This is a mid-sized, dual role aircraft, carrying both passengers and/or cargo. Built between 1963 and 1984, this aircraft became the second most successful plane in history, with 1,832 units being produced. Innovative wing and flap design allowed this aircraft to land on short runways, opening up routes hitherto unavailable.
The McKeenan Aviation 727-100C has been designed to provide you with one of Second Life's most stable and robust aircraft in its size range. Months of testing and tuning has resulted in a plane that is easy to fly, yet will take some skill to totally master.
Scripts have been optimised to help with problem-free sim crossings, resulting is less crashes and latency issues. Our beta testers - comprising of a wide range of experienced pilots (including airport and airline owners) - have commented on the stability of the aircraft, even upon crossing successive Sim corners.
The handling of the aircraft is adjustable, allowing you to make the plane feel heavier or lighter, depending on your preferences.
The innovative triple slotted flaps and leading edge slats in the real aircraft have been reproduced in this model, giving the aircraft its distinctive profile when flaps are fully extended.
All in all, we believe we have produced a solid and reliable plane, able to handle passengers or cargo, or a mixture of both with equal ease. The forthcoming Cargo System add-on will mean that pilots can accept commissions to transport goods from airport to airport, earning pseudo payments and rising in rank whilst working within a delivery deadline. Be sure to deliver your cargo however, or late fines and reduction in rank could occur. You may also be offered lucrative payments for smuggling.... dare you accept?
We suggest you obtain the Demo 727-100C; this will allow you to experience the plane before you purchase. The Demo model only differs from the full plane in the fact that it's No Copy / No Mod / No Trans, and you can sit on the plane ONCE only - when you stand, the plane will delete itself.

Great plane
I am really enjoying flying my 727 around SL at the moment. Its a great looking plane and flies really well. I would thoroughly recommend it.
Simply AMAZING to fly...
WOW - what an addition to the aviation community! This aircraft is very easy to fly and crosses sims very nicely! My first flight was awesome, the reviews prior to mine says it all! I'd recommend this one any day!

Excellent piece of art!
I must admit, this plane is going to be my favorite coming time. I waited a long time for this one to be released, every day I came to Cheerport airport. Mick almost went nuts from me asking when he is gonna release the plane! Anyway this plane flies so smooth and is s fully loaded with options, I have not seen that in any plane before. Like you can control how you wanna fly, choose soft/medium/hard. Also it has this cargo system in it (its going to be working with a new cool cargo feature at airports). I allready made some custom paints for this bird coz Mick made the textures so, that almost everyone is able to paint it without any difficulty,horizontal/vertical flips or mirroring text etc etc are with these textures history! I do want to say before you fly read the notecard carefully coz there is a lot of usefull information in it that is gonna make you enjoy the plane even more. Dont
Excellent!!!
Getting passengers from point A to point B is very important to me. The sability of Mick's Boeing 727 when it comes to sim crossings as well as corner crossings is probabally the best I've encountered in any aircraft of this size I have flown in Secondlife. Mick has done an excellent job with months of testing to release an airplane that I am proud to fly the SL skies. Kudos and cant wait to test fly your next plane.
