The 727-100 had been in service barely a year when Boeing began serious consideration of a stretched, greater capacity development. This resulted in the 727-200, which Boeing announced it was developing in August 1965. The 727-200 was essentially a minimum change development of the 100, the only major change being the 6.10m (20ft) fuselage stretch, which increased maximum seating to 189 passengers. The 727-200's stretch consisted of two 3.05m (10ft) plugs, one forward and one rear of the wing. Otherwise, the 727-100 and 200 shared common engines, fuel tank capacity, and the same maximum takeoff weight. The first flight of the 727-200 occurred on July 27 1967, with certification granted in late November that year. The -200 was placed into service by launch customer Northeast Airlines (this airline was later acquired by Delta) the following month, by which time a total of 727 orders for both models had exceeded 500.

The 727 series is my all-time favorite aircraft series, love the old trijets of yesterday, and why not recreate it in Minecraft. I have older classic jets in development, as I'm in the classic mood you could say, so do expect more from this great era of aviation.
