Thumbs up

Correct the 737NG max.alt. is 410 I only have experience on the series 800 which had to be quite lightly loaded to get there but guess the 6/700 series would get there more often.The NG,s have a new wing compared to the earlier series which gives them a better altitude capability and higher cruising mach number of just a tad under Mach 0.8 as against about 0.73 of the earlier series. I,ve moved on recently but an excellent commercial aeroplane a real money maker.
