F22 heading home

I'd heard on the grapevine that F22s were due to head back to Anderson AFB so managed to snap some pics as they departed. Seeing them in person is something else.

Can someone identify this plane?

My great grandpa was an Air Force pilot during the 30s and I’d love to know what plane is on the background

Dash 80 and 727s in Boeing Hangar

The first 727 rolled out Nov. 27, 1962, bearing the same lemon-yellow and copper-brown color scheme as the Dash 80. To help spur sales, Boeing sent a 727 on a 76,000-mile tour of 26 countries. Originally, Boeing planned to build 250 of the planes. However, after being shown to the world, they proved so popular (especially after the larger 727-200 model, which carried up to 189 passengers, was introduced) that a total of 1,832 were produced at the Renton plant. The 727 was the only Boeing-built trijet in its time. It was designed to operate out of small airports with shorter runways than were used by 707s. The 131-passenger trijet also was the first Boeing commercial jetliner to use an auxiliary power unit (APU), a small gas turbine that eliminated the need for ground power or starting equipment at small airports when the main engines were shut off. All 727s carried self-contained, hydraulically operated stairs, which, combined with the APU, could make the airplane independent of ground equipment. The 727 jet also was built as a freighter and as a ''quick change'' version, which airlines could convert from a passenger transport to a freighter, or a combination of both, as they chose.

There is always a special place in my heart for turboprops

This cant be a realistic timeline for airline pilots right?
