When that was accomplished, a fuel truck in front of the plane was stalled, and engines on the Boeing 727 were reversed to back away from the trouble spot. From there, the plane kept Its schedule of visiting points served by Frontier, and could claim to be the heaviest airplane of its type as well as the first commercial pure jet to land at the local airport. The aircraft is classified as being in the medium to short-range jet. Its distinguishing characteristics are the type tail, the tip of which is 34 feet above the ground, and the three jet engines at the rear of the fuselage.

The plane is capable of cruising at 600 miles per hour, and, under Frontier's plans, will be built to accommodate 103 passengers. Despite complications at Houston, a Boeing 727 jet airliner being demonstrated Saturday for Frontier Airlines proved itself at Rapid City and elsewhere. The demonstration was so satisfactory that negotiations were started for the purchase of three of the $4.5 million planes, with one of them to have a high priority for serving Rapid City. Delivery would be late 1966, or early 1967. Frontier officials were pleased the three-engine jet required less than half the runway at Rapid City Municipal Airport to make its landing.

And after a short stay here, about half the runway was required for the plane to get back into the air. At Houston, earlier in the day, the right landing gear sank through the asphalt apron of the airport, causing a three-hour delay in the schedule. With a gross weight of 147,500 I A 5 i vi-V i i- i S.
