Notes:

The light load on today's Las Vegas-Oklahoma City flight gives us a chance to move around and explore the cabin of one of the last flying passenger 727s in North America. There are still visible reminders of this airframe's early days with Singapore Airlines, such as the oversized galleys (a reminder of the times when airlines provided real service). Surprisingly, this is the first cabin shot of a Champion Air 727 anywhere on the 'net!

Just came across this one...nice one...and the fact that this is the first for a cabin shot. I was not allowed to get mine when I was on-board due to the fact that the Lakers were already boarding, and that we had dawdled in the cockpit too long, so i just got the up front shots. Nice job...
