Boeing 727-100

FAA type approval was awarded on December 24 of that year, with initial delivery to United Airlines on October 29, 1963, to allow pilot training to commence. The first 727 passenger service was flown by Eastern Air Lines on February 1, 1964, between Miami, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia.

Alaska Airlines

The term "Golden Nugget Jets" refers to a specific era in Alaska Airlines' history, not a separate airline or team. In the early 1960s, Alaska Airlines introduced "Golden Nugget Service" on their Douglas DC-6 aircraft, which included a saloon and piano on board. Later, they also painted their entire fleet with a special "Golden Nugget Jets" livery. This was a unique and memorable period in the airline's history, known for its quirky and distinctive style.
