I'm pretty sure they were still flying in the early 90s, because I'm pretty sure I can remember flying on one of them.

Yes it is. It's certainly well worth a look as it comes with with it's own soundset , great exterior model (as you can see) and that old school cockpit can be a handfull but a lot of fun. Go for it.

yep, in fact some were running up until 2003! i often remember boarding the old 737-200's worrying that they might not make the distance between AKL and CHC. didn't trust them, they always seemed to groan and creak. but those were the days... nice repaint too :D

Excellent shots- I only wish my graphics where at that level.
