This old lady is often maligned for no good reason really.

Not the prettiest girl on the dance floor, nor the sexiest one to tango with...

Still a fine aircraft and you can pretty much count on her to get you where you are going time after time after time etc. When things do go sour, the 37 still flies like, well, an airplane and degradations are almost always graceful.

I like to think of them as good solid Buicks*. Old yes, but solid and reliable that brings to mind the cliche: "they don't make 'em like that anymore"

* to my UK/Aussie/EU compatriots: please consider this asterisk an open invitation to substitute a domestically produced vehicle of your choice here.
