Ship Number One
United N7001U sits at the Museum of Flight's restoration center at Paine Field in Everett Washington. This is the very first Boeing 727 built, and was sold to United Airlines in 1964 after two years of serving as Boeing's prototype 727 test aircraft. UAL donated the celebrity 727 to the Museum of Flight in 1991, after 27 years of faithful service and 48,060 takeoffs and landings. The museum's goal is to restore it to flying conditions, for a one-time ferry trip from Paine Field in Everett to Boeing Field south of Seattle, where the museum is located. June 18th, 2013.
