The Boeing 727, the second most successful airliner to date (eclipsed only by the Boeing 737 series), came about as a result of a compromise between United, American, and Eastern Airlines on a fuel-efficient aircraft able to operate from smaller, higher airports and on short-range overwater routes.
The three airlines settled on a three-engined design, with two engines mounted in the rear and the third in the tail itself. This freed up the entire wing for lift-enhancement flaps and slats, giving the 727 an extremely efficient wing design for short-field landing; since it retained the basic fuselage design of the 707, it could still carry a fairly large number of passengers into airports previously only able to take smaller aircraft and consequently smaller amounts of passengers. For operations from comparatively primitive airports, internal rear-mounted airstairs were added, as well as an APU. Pilots liked the 727's handling characteristics, though it took some time to get used to its relatively high landing speed and sink rate.
The 727-100 was instantly popular, but Boeing soon introduced the lengthened 727-200, which proved to be the baseline aircraft. Eventually 1831 were produced; about a third of that number continue in service today, mostly as cargo variants. 727s began to be withdrawn from service due to the costs of maintaining them, the noise of the aircraft, and the presence of a flight engineer, whose services can be duplicated by computers in the 21st Century. Nine are on public display.
This 727-200 flew its entire passenger career with Braniff International Airways as N470BN, from 1979 to 1989. In 1990, it was converted to a freighter version as N494FE, and flew with Federal Express until 2013. As FedEx retired its 727 fleet, N494FE was donated to the Rocky Mountain Emergency Service Training Center at Helena, Montana as a ground instructional airframe for firefighters. It is named "Ebony"; a former Delta CRJ200 parked to the left (out of frame) is named "Ivory."
I spotted the tail of N494FE while getting some shots of firefighting aircraft at Helena in August 2019. This was as close as I could get to her; the purple tail left no doubt as to which airline this aircraft used to fly for! Note the F-16 fuselage in the right background.

c/n 48447 was built in May 1991 and was delivered to Swissair as HB-IWE on 14.06.91. The airline was renamed to Swiss International Air Lines on 31.03.02. The jet was transferred to FedEx on 04.01.05 and converted to a freighter until 01.07.05.
This is c/n 48447. c/n 48448 (HB-IWF) was the Swissair jet that was lost at Peggy´s Cove near Nova Scotia in September 1998.

Omni Air International (OAI) - Boeing 757-23A - N549AX (c/n 24528/250)
This Omni Air International 757 has served with a wide variety of operators since it was first delivered brand new to Air Belgium in October 1989 (as OO-ILI). Icelandair briefly leased the aircraft under the same registration in 1996, then Sunways Sweden operated the aircraft as "Lennart Johannson" (registered as SE-DSM) from March 1997 until November 1997, when the aircraft was acquired by Tombo Aviation (as G-BXOL).
Under Tombo's ownership it has been leased to a series of operators, including Britannia Airways (still as G-BXOL) in December 1999, then to Air Holland (as PH-AHP) in April 1999, followed by Transavia (still as PH-AHP) in April 2000, British World Airlines in May 2001 (as G-OBWS), MyTravel Airways (as G-CCMY) in May 2002, Kampuchea Airways (as XU-123) in October 2003, One-Two-Go and Orient Thai Airlines (still as XU-123) in December 2003, returning to Tombo as N549AX in August 2004, before starting service with Omni Air in September 2004.
UPDATE (July 2014) - Not long after this photo was taken, N549AX would be placed into storage at Victorville, California (VCV / KVCV), on November 15, 2010. On December 6, 2010, the aircraft was acquired by Federal Express (Fed Ex) (re-registered N939FD, and named "Camilla") for conversion to cargo configuration. The aircraft entered regular service for FedEx upon completion of the conversion (to Boeing 757-23A(SF) standard) in October 2011..

A package that arrived in this condition from Victoria's Secret, via Federal Express. I find the condition of the package unacceptable, (there is a second picture of the front, shown in the comments section...) although the contents of the package (a bra and panties for my fianceé…) arrived undamaged.

"Scream of the photographer" wanting revenge on the shipping company!
An e-mail was sent to the shipper (Victoria's Secret) enclosing the two shots and one of a prior damaged shipment, suggesting that VS give some grief to FedEx for the condition of these packages...

Federal Express (FedEx) - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10F (MD-10-10F) - N40061 (c/n 46973/ 272) - Garrett
This DC-10 was delivered new as a standard passenger carrying variant (DC-10-10) to Laker Airways in March 1979 (as G-GSKY). After Laker's demise, it would then enter operation with British Caledonian Airways (BCal) in February 1982 as G-BJZE. It would continue to fly for British Caledonian Charter (BCA Charter), and successor Cal Air International, until January 1988. In January 1988 Novair International started to fly the aircraft (still registered G-BJZE). After Novair, the aircraft was returned to ILFC, who had the airplane converted into an all-cargo configuration (DC-10F / DC-10-10F) in November 1992 (as N591LF). After its conversion to an all-cargo freighter, World Airways operated the aircraft from December 1993 to November 1994 (still as N591LF). Fed Ex would begin flying the airplane as N40061 (now named "Garrett") in November 1994.
The MD-10 designation refers to an upgrade implemented by Federal Express to their DC-10 fleet which allowed for cockpit commonality between the DC-10 and successor MD-11.

Federal Express (FedEx) - McDonnell Douglas MD-11F - N580FE (c/n 48471/558) - Ashton
This MD-11 was delivered new as a standard passenger variant to China Airlines as B-153 in December 1993. It would then fly under the same registration for Mandarin Airlines from November 1995 to November 1998, when it would return to China Airlines service, this time re-registered as B-18152. The aircraft would leave China Airlines service in July 2001, when it was purchased by Federal Express (FedEx) and converted into an MD-11 Freighter (MD-11F) and re-registered as N580FE. This MD-11F also carries the name "Ashton." Federal Express aircraft are usually named after the children of Fed Ex employees via drawing/lottery.
UPDATE (July 2016) - N580FE would be withdrawn from service by FedEx on May 8, 2015 and placed into storage at Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV / KVCV) in Victorville, California.

Federal Express (FedEx) - McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10F (MD-10-10F) - N560FE (c/n 46938/153) - Deonna
This aircraft was delivered as a standard DC-10 passenger carrying variant (DC-10-10) to Western Airlines (N905WA) in May 1974. It would wear the same registration for a number of years through a variety of operators - Capitol Airlines (July 1981), Pacific East Air (November 1982), The Hawaii Express (April 1983), World Airways (March 1984), Arrow Air (November 1984), Air Panama (September 1985), and Air Hawaii (November 1985), before entering service with American Airlines (AA) as N168AA (along with a switch from CF6-6D1A to CF-6-6K engines) in October 1986.
Federal Express would purchase the aircraft in November 1999, re-register it as N560FE, replace the CF6-6K engines with CF6-6D engines) and then convert it into a freighter. It was also updated to MD-10 standard, which allows for a common-type cockpit with the MD-11.
