Great landing! The 727 was a workhorse for US Airlines in the 1970's and 1980's and was a very reliable and sturdy airframe! That pilot did a great job!

Ditto.....beautiful job of keeping the nose up as long as possible.

But...........19 crewmembers? NINETEEN? Hells Bells, we were lucky to have 3 flight attendants on a packed 727-200 at CO.
