Post Description

Cougar Airlines started operations in March 2001. The company operates a fleet of 3 Boeing 727-200 "Super 27s". The Super 27 is developed from the B727 with more powerful Pratt and Whitney 217 engines. This allows the aircraft to climb faster and cover a greater distance than the basic 727. The Super 27 cruises at mach 0.8 and at 550mph it is the second fastest Boeing civilian aircraft behind the B747.
