Rare close-cropped rear-aspect image of TAA B727-276 VH-TBH crossing Rwy 17/35 at Canberra Airport in 1983. TAA B727s and DC-9s had a 'T' on their tail in this livery, and were known as 'T-Jets' when they entered service with TAA in the mid-1960s. This aircraft is in her original TAA livery, which was then being replaced by the new 'orange/blue stripe' ('Hockey Stick') livery. My first flight in a TAA B727-276 was in VH-TBG, from YMML to YSSY (1.0 hrs) on 02Nov1973. An Ansett B727-277 is visible at rear. Apologies for low image quality.
