Narrative:
I was the first officer and PF in the event described. While climbing our B727 through FL220 from denver to omaha, we received a 'low aft body' overheat light followed shortly by a rapid oil temperature rise in the #2 engine. The head flight attendant reported a hot cabin and a burning smell. The #2 engine was shut down, an emergency was declared, and all appropriate checklists completed. The 'low aft body' overheat light had extinguished and all indications showed that the #2 engine had a normal shutdown. A descent was made to 17000 ft and we requested the nearest suitable airfield as per the checklist. ZDV informed us that akron, co, had a 7000 ft runway and we decided to land there. We received radar vectors to a visual approach to runway 11 at akron. The approach and landing were uneventful and no evacuate/evacuation was ordered.

Title: FLC OF A B727 DIVERTED AFTER HAVING THE LOWER BODY OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT COME ON AND HIGH RISING OIL TEMP OF THE #2 ENG LOCATED IN THE AFT FUSELAGE TAIL. THE ENG WAS SHUT DOWN AND EMER DECLARED. SUCCESSFUL LNDG MADE AND THE PAX DEPLANED IN THE NORMAL MANNER.
Narrative: I WAS THE FO AND PF IN THE EVENT DESCRIBED. WHILE CLBING OUR B727 THROUGH FL220 FROM DENVER TO OMAHA, WE RECEIVED A 'LOW AFT BODY' OVERHEAT LIGHT FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY A RAPID OIL TEMP RISE IN THE #2 ENG. THE HEAD FLT ATTENDANT RPTED A HOT CABIN AND A BURNING SMELL. THE #2 ENG WAS SHUT DOWN, AN EMER WAS DECLARED, AND ALL APPROPRIATE CHKLISTS COMPLETED. THE 'LOW AFT BODY' OVERHEAT LIGHT HAD EXTINGUISHED AND ALL INDICATIONS SHOWED THAT THE #2 ENG HAD A NORMAL SHUTDOWN. A DSCNT WAS MADE TO 17000 FT AND WE REQUESTED THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRFIELD AS PER THE CHKLIST. ZDV INFORMED US THAT AKRON, CO, HAD A 7000 FT RWY AND WE DECIDED TO LAND THERE. WE RECEIVED RADAR VECTORS TO A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 11 AT AKRON. THE APCH AND LNDG WERE UNEVENTFUL AND NO EVAC WAS ORDERED.
