Located at the Museum of Flight are a large number of static aircraft on display. One of them is a Boeing 727-022. The Museum of Flight website contains a page devoted to this aircraft and it reads:
One of the world's classic airliners, the Boeing 727 was developed to provide economic low-altitude, high-speed cruising capability. From the time it was first flown, in February of 1963, until production ended in 1984, a total of 1,832 had rolled off factory lines and had seen service with more than 100 different airlines.
The Museum's airplane was the first 727 ever produced. Following the conclusion of Boeing's flight-test program, it entered regular passenger service with United Airlines. On March 2, 2016, this aircraft made one last flight from the Museum's Restoration Center to Boeing Field where it will remain on display through the Summer, and moved into permanent display in the Aviation Pavilion in Fall, 2016.
