Default 727 replacements

What is the longest range of 727 and 737? I believe in the beginning 737
was short-range only...


One airline, I think NW, used 727s on the West Coast to Hawaii route for a
short while. IIRC, some European charter outfit used a 727 transatlantic,
probably with a tech stop at Gander.

The original 737 (just the -100 ???) couldn't do Denver to Chicago with a
full load on a very hot day. Runway length at Stapleton might have been
part of the problem. In any case it was a problem for UA, a 737 launch
customer.
