For those who never flew on a 727, the last chance has passed. I'm not a huge fan of the 727 but it certainly earned its place in history as an iconic and classic airliner.

Never did get to fly on one. Shame they didnt advertise it a little more, would have been nice to have been on it, but not the easiest part of the world to get to (although quite high up my todo list!)

I've been there once on business and some friends went for tourism. Getting a visa is easier than most people think. Of course once the stamp is in your passport you might get a question or two in other countries...but I never did.

Yeah, it's like Russia, many people seem to think it's an unreachable Mordor that's accessible only to spies and a few chosen ones, but you can actually make a visa by yourself and go on a trip there without too much effort.
