Yes I have to agree I am sure that she flew in for one last ferry flight,,so low weight and low fuel low a requirement. She must have some pretty high hours on the airframe by now. They have another 727 being slowly disassembled at MacDonald-Cartier also. I think they have pulled three off their fleet in the past 12 months. Last of the smokey 727's...
