The last flight of the first of the many.

[Bob (not my real pseudonym)[_2_]]

After 25 years of restoration (interspersed with lots of other stuff)
The Museum of Flight Restoration Center at Paine Field, Everett WA
made the prototype 727 airworthy, and it made its last, short, flight
to Boeing Field in Seattle for permanent display at the main museum.

Managed to catch it as it was on final approach to BFI.

1,832 built during a 21-year production run (1963–1984).

This one was probably the most famous: http://tinyurl.com/q2t6klk
