Dunno if anyone's aware, but, today .... "APRIL 9TH" (US-Time) ..... represents the 56th anniversary of the B737's first flight .... and which on this date was in B737-100 form and back in 1967.
56 years ago .... today (April 9th US-time .... first flight). "QUITE" the test of any airliner design to remain in production still/all this time .... having evolved from the B727-100 to the 200 .... and on to the -300/-400/500/-600/-700/-800 SERIES .... and then to the more recent MAX SERIES as well .... and in doing so fulfilling a multitude of both civil and military roles.
I'd normally have penned a feature about this, but, "no time to do so" given my attendance these past few days to what I've felt has needed to be done for both "this team and our community too".
I'll present something later .... perhaps .... BUT .... we'll "WAIT'N'SEE"
Think the above imagery is sufficient a tribute anyway .... since no words of mine can really further define/add anything to what's generally known, and appreciated, in regard to the B737 TYPE.
