Iran Air 277? Caused by flying in poor weather conditions according to initial sources? With an investigation incomplete by Iranian authorities?
Did you hear that story from some guy in a bar?
The New York Times ... which may be barely one step up from a guy in a bar, but is a step up ...Iran’s Aging Airliner Fleet Seen as Faltering Under U.S. Sanctions

So you got confused between flight 727 in the NYTimes story, and flight 277 that crashed?
confused, indeed ...
"727" is a brand of aircraft manufactured by the Boeing Corporation. "277" is an IranAir flight number. Flight 277 was a 727.
You should stop now while you're only a little bit behind, Symmetry.
Fair point, but it's still not backing up your original story.
I'm not convinced you even know what the original story is - you seem to be very confused.
