In a time-honoured tradition, the first ground crew member to greet an aircraft is the one with the wheel chocks. The length and close fit of the shorts has changed somewhat though.

Thanks Darryl. From responses on FA for 727s, you're not alone in your sentiment.

Hi Gavin, I loved the 727-100 & 200s and would be amazed as a very young guy watching them climb out at such high pitch attitudes.
Also, loved the wing and motors being so far back for excellent passenger visibility and lower cabin noise.
However, 727 pilots I've known have been somewhat critical of the cockpit organization and flight stability characteristics.

David - ah the 80s! Very few OH&S rules back then and pilots kept a watch for their ground crew. Remember the days when ground crew used batons to guide pilots to their positions.
