A Tribute To A True Classic: 737-200
I would like to dedicate this topic to one of the truly classic designs of the modern jet-age: the Boeing 737-200.
My first flight was on one of those, and ever since that first flight I instantly fell in love with that airplane! Growing up I always thought it was such a perfect design- the only jet nowadays that has the engines running across the entire breadth of the wing. It just seems so NATURAL, unlike other non-T-shaped aircraft where the engines jut out of the wing. And the size of it- the "Baby Boeing" really made you feel as if you were flying in your own private plane- just so homely!
The photo below is no coincidence either. Not just because of that lovely El-Al colour scheme, but because my very first flight was on the very same aircraft in the picture from Tel-Aviv to the very same airport in the picture (Koln-Bonn) just two years before that particular photo was taken:

The legendary Boeing 737-200 Classic - Aviogenex - Landing and Departure ( HD )
Published on Sep 7, 2013
This classic Boeing 737-200 of Aviogenex operated multiple flights for the Serbian Airline JAT this summer. For me it was a pleasure to see this classic 737 active and finally I had the chance to make a video of this bird. This is my third video which begins with "The legendary ... ". I am using this introduction to sum up video clips I made of classic planes. Also check out:
This was not going to prove a thing .. So OK off to my Library, chapter in book has that word .. book publish late 1978, one off the first books I after starting working - a hardcover chapter on the competition between Boeing and Douglas twins
I have another from shelf , dated 1988 is mentions the engines for the New Generation and the changes , 1988 was way to early for the 600 to 900 series as they first mentioned at the Aeronautical Society meeting around 1994 from a Boeing rep who visited regular almost two three months .. mainly here selling 300 and introducing himself after consulting at the Christchurch jet maintenance.
I also have another book , showing general layout and and artist impression, they called that aircraft the New Addition I'll scan that later , July 1981 went planning started on the type. and this was re-label in 1984 as the New Generation ..... so when the next version popped 20 year all the writing was change .. the old 1978 Boeing publication call it the then 100/200 the "Classic" they also fore sore the type out stripping everything by 1985 but 1988 on the books (orders) not built yet.
Just to muck to muck it up they change the writing at Dikipepiea
to "New Generation"
