The first Boeing 727 ever made will soon take its last flight

More than 50 years after its maiden voyage, the very first Boeing 727 will take its very last flight on Tuesday, March 1, weather permitting.

The 727 will fly from Paine Field to Boeing Field International, both in Washington state. From there, the plane will go on permanent display at the adjacent Museum of Flight, where it will help kick off Boeing's centennial celebration at the museum.
