One more quick one- in the mid-'90s Lufthansa Cargo leased this 737-300 to partially replace its outgoing 737-200Cs in short-haul service. It was one of the first 737s to be converted to cargo from passenger use, and remains in service as 9M-NEF with MY Jet Express in Malaysia, having been with over a dozen operators so far. Here it is around 1994 as D-ABWS:

I took some inspiration from the recently-previewed Caravelles, so now I'm working on some of my own! First up is Caravelle III D-ABAF of LTU circa 1965. It was the first of four airplanes to receive that registration (followed by an LTU Caravelle 10R and two Air Berlin 737s), and went to Transavia in 1968.

Mehr klassische deutsche vogel/flugzuege .... das sind gute Neuigkeiten I forgot to mention .... Erik has produced a few other classic CARAVELLE's (one of which is an "immediate replacement" for a current non-HJG member supplied texture), but, I'll present these later on. Mark C AKL/NZ

Thanks! Here's a slightly later variation from 1967, which had a modified tail design reminiscent of United's (though I think this was unintentional). I also updated the engine logo with the help of a better reference, which has been applied to both liveries.

From 1970s Yugoslavia, we have another Caravelle III of Inex Adria Airways, which was leased from May to November of 1972. The airline eventually became Adria Airways, which still exists today as the de facto flag carrier of Slovenia.

For a quick change of pace, I decided to take on some more 737s that were used in shuttle service in the United States; the first two are both from Delta's operation: 737-35B N224DA, 2003 737-330 N242DL, 2004. I painted the fuselage myself, but borrowed Jim's tail, engine, and detail textures for uniformity and because it was easier that way

Thanks guys! Next up in the series is a trio of Shuttle by United 737-300s. It was effectively the same idea as Continental West in the 1980s, though it had a considerably larger network. Officially, it operated between 1994 and 2001, but a large number of the 58 aircraft that they flew wore the titles all the way up until 2007. N366UA, 1997. Initially, the aircraft were painted white with the blue underside used in the main livery. N398UA, 2001. By now, they wore the full Battleship livery with the Shuttle logo. N393UA, 2004. At some point, the operation was rebranded as United Shuttle, and got new titles (introduced in 1997 for use on boarding passes and signage, but not used in an official livery until 2004) accordingly. They also used a number of 737-500s, which appeared in the latter two variations. Those will be on the way soon!
