Agggggh the -200

Those days before "the noise police" the 200ADV JT8D's (our were -15A's) without drag kits, -5 degree C frost at CHC in winter, climb thrust 600 feet, clean up accel to 350k crossing the coast at 1500 feet Aggggh the noise was fantastic! Just made you want to live next to the airport to hear the little jet leave in the morning. (OK I am an aeroplane nut and don't mind aircraft noise)

Just a distant memory now in some parts of the world, but the 200 was and still is a great plane, only 1 737-219QC left now in NZ. Many pilots cut their teeth on Mr Boeings little bush jet, and are good sticks because the 732 was a good teacher, that would not accept sloppy work.

Our 219's (in the last batch made) are still going strong in Mexico.

Sorry to ramble on but the 732 has a special place in my log book.
