Footage on YouTube from Topfelya showed a Boeing 727 landing at the Farnborough airshow and shocking spectators with its noise.
The aircraft is seen at the 2018 edition of the show, being used as an oil spill response aircraft.
It landed on the runway before reverse thrust kicks in, which slowed the big jet right down so it could taxi away.
Boeing’s 727 first flew in 1963, and as of July 2025, only 14 were still flying in commercial service.
