Boeing 737-200 Classic ! Flight and tour 

Wonderful video, Seeing your children experience a free run around this aircraft, brings me back to my childhood, growing up in Invercargill New Zealand, my father was an aircraft engineer with NAC/Air New Zealand for 40 years. Every opportunity I would spend the weekends with Dad “airside” (no such thing in the early 70s) in the deep south of NZ. F27, Viscounts, and the 737 200 I would be sitting in the left had sit while Dad towed the aircraft from the apron to the hanger. Best times ever with my Dad, and I am sure your girls will remember days like this as fondly as I do 45 years later.

Awesome! I’ve got quite a bit of 737-200 time as Captain, Check Airman, A&P Mechanic. A fine machine!

This plane belonged to America West Airlines back in the late 80s into the 90s. I flew this very plane several times, it was one of our originals. This is so surreal and amazing to see her still flying. Lots of great memories working for that AWA.

i love that the map display bluescreened. That old girl doesnt want any new tech installed on her.

What a beautiful family!!! I remember getting my PPL back in the mid 90's and my little girl, (around 5 at the time) was my first passenger... She was sooo excited!! She always wanted to know how my training was going and couldn't wait for me to take her :-) Enjoy every single minute with those young ladies... Cause they won't be young for very long... I walked my baby girl down the aisle last year and it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life!!! Take care Mr. Junkie and give those girls an extra big hug tonight!!! :-)

WOW! That is one hell of a plane! That old girl is in great shape. That pilot knows this bird well, it seems. Very nice.

Peculiar flare maneuver: at 100ft thrust levers are reduced to idle and both hands go on the control wheel for the remainder of the flare and touchdown! I hope he carried extra speed above Vref!

Proud to have done the load sheet for this aircraft and also travelled in the cockpit of 737-200.

So this is how a "senior" checklist looks like... From the heart :)

That would sure make the run to OSHKOSH a great ride...... First Class and Fast ! Thanks for the ride along.

I find it amazing that it takes half a day to do pre flight, flight plan and avionics checks and program routes.

Don McComb here. Awesome video Tommy! Checking my flight records, I flew in that 737 when it was with America West as N137AW from ONT to PHX in February 1988. I have to say, it has a much nicer cabin now! 😂

Thanks for posting this. The 737 is my default aircraft in MSFS, so it is a joy to see the details of the 737- both on the ground walk around, and on the flight deck. I never saw the trim wheels in action, so that was a treat. I particularly liked the dog relaxing in pedigree-class.

What an absolute joy to see a classic 732 flying in 2021! Great vid as always, Tommy!!!!

Trick? Trim. Trib. Trim. Trick. Trim...I'll explain it when we land lol awesome they can experience that!

That is definitely an amazing aircraft and you can tell it's well taken care of too! Your videos are always incredible and with so much information. I love to see you continue to share your passion of aviation with the family. Thanks as always for putting this together for us all to enjoy Tommy and I'll see you in the next one. 😁

That is one clean 73! That wheel well was immaculate and way more simple than the NG.

That was pretty cool Tommy. Thanks for letting us tag along. You have a beautiful family.

Beautiful aircraft, fun with the family, and a wonderful host. What a blast.

Awesome video! Thanks for taking us along😁 That pilot sure knows and loves that aircraft. Beautiful machine , safe travels !

There is nothing more beautiful than the children conversations

Seeing that 737-200 brought back memories of my one set of flights on a 737-200 - a hop from Kahului to Honolulu, and back on Aloha back in 2002 ... I feel old.

Man, the last time I worked on one of those was back in 1999 at Dee Howard Aircraft Co. of San Antonio, TX. Even on the 100 series out of Area 51.

man i would love if i was able to get my dad out to see this plane. he flew the 737-200 for a few years with western airlines back in the day. if only i could get him to come see this one.

28:20 White out is not a problem. The cockpit view is great. Very cool you got to bring your daughters ! Experience of lifetime.

I sure do miss seeing this aircraft type, I started working on the 737-200 in 1984 with Nordair. Part of the fleet were combi’s with gravel kits to operate in the Arctic.

@17:53, man, I’m so lucky to have all-glass panel instead of steam gages.

Man I'm missing the classic airplane's. Thanks for taking us 👍✈❤

Ah Chino…….my favorite airport. Spent almost 40 years volunteering at Planes of Fame working on and flying some of their planes. Miss my friends there since I moved to Virginia 2 years ago.

This is an amazing video. Thank you for posting it. My hubby that works at the airport was fascinated with the similarities with the newer generation 737’s.

Great airplane! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video thank you so much and it’s great seeing the girls again they’re getting so big it’s interesting that where iin the cockpit there is a checklist preflight going around under the plane there isn’t even though there’s a very comprehensive list of items that have to be inspected.

Great video, what a wonderful way to make ever lasting memories with your family! Wishing you blue skies & smooth rides!

23:30 windows Stop Screen (BSOD) better known as the Blue Screen of Death in full display. So funny ha ha

What an adorable 737-200!

your own cheerleading squad

AWESOME AWESOME.. I miss the 737 - 200 it's a rocket ship. One loud airplane with the Pratt & Whitney JT8 D's

Am I the only one that noticed the BSOD on the IFE screens haha?

Awesome video... woulda rather seen the engine start than the fmc but none the less, very appreciated!

Flying 737 just wear T-shirt so cool 👍

Their Gulfstream regularly flys over my house in Corona. Did my instrument at CNO, at an FBO that is long departed.

Nice plane!! did it have the "tiller" for taxing? I flew a 737-200 sim once that had it and it was a workout!!!

@ 26:04 Young ladies response to the Flight Safety Message is priceless!!!! She's literally been doing Aviation her entire life...🤣

Great Video Tommy! Glad to see the Mr Sorenson doing his thing. Maybe its time to do some 737-700 and 800 walk arounds? just saying.... Thanks for the video

Really awesome 'flying along' with you and your family on one of these in 2021. Very different from the Aloha jets I flew on back in 1999!

I like the Shake Bake ,sounds like this Boeing is ready to Break, loose Up up and away⛅... ✈ this Plane junkie is here to stay .

2 awesome pilots

Great footage Captain ,, Ironically that Smartphone 29:57 on the center console has more technology than the entire Aircraft

That's quite an upscale interior on that bird.

Beautiful plane and nice flying. 👌🏿

Boeing first B737-100/200 models were initial...B737-300/400/500 were classic followed by the NG and the Max .

Nice looking Airliner it is!

Older aircraft seems like No digital screens in cockpit

Wow that old 200 series looks very classy!

The aircraft type that made me fall in love with anything aviation. Absolutely stunning 737-200 . she's definitely stood the test of time I'm jealous. What's the charter company?? Great video

Thanks for the ride and the cockpit tour.

Awesome Video!! Really cool to see an ol' -200. Let alone a VIP -200. Really cool. Thanks for the vid!

Nice Tommy, Looked like a comfortable aircraft. Good to see you guys again.

I hope they can all fit inside such a small jet.

I see that thing sitting at KCNO every day. I've never seen it fly...until a couple of weeks ago. I think it may have been this day when you took the video.

Also with the added fuel tank on this maybe you could take the girls to Hawaii and do some videos there hopping between the islands that would be some beautiful flying!😊

It's great to see a 737 Original still fly. Great video by the way. :)

That was fun, thanks! ✈️

Absolutely engaging. Big fan of the baby boomers. Late Cousin used to fly these. I think all your Kids will be Pilots in future ! Great video !

Great video Tommy, that was fun to try an new/old aircraft with you.

That aircraft is a rocket ship taking off.climb in inspection ports

Hey Tommy, nice to see you in a different aircraft and showing us a different side to your family and all. Do you have to get certified every year in that aircraft to keep your rating?

What a beautiful charter plane.

that would have to be the best looking 737-200 out there nice

What? No gravel kit? What a beautiful old craft!

Love that plane.

Beautiful family Tommy,...plane not to bad either!

a beautiful classis....thanks for sharing

Is it just me or could you be a Tiger Woods impersonator? lol.

Awesome aircraft...

Looking really nice with family.

Great video as always. Thanks for the ride.

Very nice. What was the wheel that was spinning inside the cockpit and how does it work? To my understanding all of the 737s to the Max's have them. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs?

Thanks PlaneJunkies

Well, nice video, nice aircraft, I’m glad to see a well maintained old aircraft. But this 200, we call it jurrasic here anyway hahaha

What a beautiful Airplane. Great Video!

does your friend own this aircraft? who paid for this crazy expensive flight and amazing opportunity!?!?! I was on the ramp and did the same walk around of this aircraft when I operated out of Chino! Even took some pictures of my car in front of it!

Very poor technique from the pilot flying taking his hand off the thrust levers at 100’ and using both hands to control the aeroplane. Never seen that taught or read about it in any Boeing Flight Crew Training Manual.

so funny to see all analog

I like the shirt almost as much as I liked the video. Fun

Awesome Tommy, thanks for sharing!

Tom are those PW JT8D engines on that 200? Yaw we know you can probably fly it yourself. Haha

Awesome video! CNO is one of my local airports, and so far I’ve only caught this thing once about a month ago doing 2 test flights. When by chance was this filmed? Because I really want to catch this thing again taking off. It is LOUD from the outside and you can hear that signature JT8D popping and crackling still despite having hush kits which I was very shocked about! Thanks for this awesome video!

Fn love the crew

How awesome.

Imagine you enter a plane and all screens show bluescreens :D

Pretty cool plane…wow is technology advancing!

Great video!! Well done!!

Amazing!

Wish we could have gotten a better view of take off and landing, nice video however

How awesome, awesome Dad too 👍👍

Very cool video! Thanks!

Man that classic looks better than some 10 year old NG's out there...

Wonderful

Good video . Enjoy guys
