I happened upon a website with airline articles of interest, hotel information, and other travel brochures. There are also copies of old airline seat maps.
I thought you guys might enjoy this one, especially after the announcement by American Airlines they are going to reduce the seat pitch in 737s to 29". Does anyone remember those 34" days? That's some serious leg room. The Boeing 727-200 was my favorite airliner. It was comfortable, quiet, and fast.

Vintage Airline Seat Map: United Airlines Boeing 727-200 (1979)
United Airlines had a few variations of the Boeing 727-200 flying the skies in 1979 and I’ve selected the -222A configuration for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.
Seating a total of 132 passengers, there were 14 seats in first class with 38” pitch and 118 in coach at 34” pitch (ah… those were the days of “economy plus” throughout coach). It’s interesting to note they had a flight attendant jumpseat at 15D in the overwing exit row. The later versions I flew in the 1980s didn’t have this location.
