&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp **727**  
&nbsp I’m sure green\_bladder would have posted the Boeing 727.  
&nbsp This plane had its own stairway built into the tail section. Hijacker DB Cooper utilized this feature to parachute out of a 727 somewhere over the American Southwest on Nov 24, 1971 with $200,000 ransom.  
&nbsp The plane is also seen in the movie “Contact” as the private jet of billionaire SR Haddon (John Hurt). Jodie Foster boards the plane from the built-in stairway.
