Some of my best ever memories are as a pax in the old 732! I used to travel from London to Prestwick every second weekend with ryanair in the -200 and my favorite seat was just behind the wing where I could hear the old JT8Ds whine and roar on takeoff WOW!
I also know pilots who fly the 200 and they say it is very easy to fly and flies like a dream!! I have been through all sorts of weather in it and I have never felt as safe on any other aircraft as I do on the 200!!
infact I went to Malta lastyear on a A320 and all the way over I was thinking of it's +2.5G max on the wings, what if it hit a sudden updraft?? the bloody wings would be ripped off, what a badly designed aircraft.
