That is one fine looking 727. Getting to be a rare bird these days.

727-63 General Electric Unducted Fan (UDF) Testbed, N32720 at the Mojave Airport on November 9, 1986.

In 1986, General Electric modified a 727-63 to test an unducted fan (UDF) engine in place of the starboard turbofan engine. The engine powered two counter-rotating fans with eight blades each. They were expected to achieve significant improvements in fuel efficiency and were planned to power a proposed 150-seat airliner dubbed the 7J7. The modified UDF Testbed made its first flight at the Mojave Airport in August 1986. The General Electric security guard was the very first person to hassle me for walking the Mojave Airport flight line.

Thanks Anna! I wish I could have made it out during the week with you all but work had priority. I got up early Friday to get some shots even though the weather was foggy and a very low ceiling.
