"But Alex, haven't we already seen this?" A very condensed version. After uploading the 737-200s in Canada video, I got a LOT of requests on the Canadian North trip reports for a complete takeoff and landing sequence, without trimming things as I often have to do in the trip reports to keep the length manageable. So here it is! 35 minutes of pure Boeing 737-200 wing view - No music, no text, just a flight back in time heading above the 60th parallel. Enjoy :)

Alex, I am a new subcriber and want to thank you very much for sharing your aviation adventures with us. I too love flying and airports, but since I dont make much money, its extremely rare when I get to (my last flight was in 2002, KATL to KSYR). I do have a question for you. When watching your flights, I find that I wish for voice narration rather than subtitles. Your narration in your report "WHY DO BOEING 737-200s STILL FLY IN CANADA? " was absolutely fantastic. So my question is: Do you plan on doing future flight videos with voice narration? Thank you again for taking the time to record and edit for our enjoyment.

Hi Jeremy, that's a good question! Actually, the 737-200s in Canada video was a bit of a test run for voiceover on my channel, I certainly didn't expect the video to blow up like it did. However, my next trip report is in the works, and it will be narrated :)

I like that you included the pre-flight announcements in there - it’s all part of the experience!🥰

Wow! Thank-you so much Alex for that trip back in time to the days of the Boeing 737-200, the 737 variant on which I cut my teeth (I guess I am showing my age?). For those too young to remember or experience, the wing of the 737-200 was similar in many respects to that of the 707 and 727. For those unfamiliar with what I grew up with on a commercial jet liner, I’ll give you the nickel tour (only because so many memories flooded my mind as I watched the video and indeed, I am excited). Going from the tip towards the fuselage, the light at the wingtip was the “logo light” that illuminated the horizontal stabilizer at night. The vortex generators (those little fins poking up from the wing) are all but gone on modern aircraft, and were used to help keep air smoothly flowing over the top of the wing. The triple-slotted flaps are rarely seen on modern commercial aircraft. And how about those clamshell thrust reversers? A little trivia for you is that Boeing initially had them blowing straight up and down on the 737 prototype. However, the down blast tended to lift the aircraft up, and it lost a lot of its breaking power. Consequently, they had to cant them. What did not show up in the video is the view from forward of the wing that showed the blow-in doors near the nacelle intake, which served to provide more air when engine power was in high demand. Also, the high lift device between the fuselage and engine was a Kruger flap, which only exists these days on the 747. Here is a link to what I am describing about the forward view: www.airliners.net/photo/Air-Charter-Euralair/Boeing-737-222/1252741 Anyway, thank-you again so much for the memories. Sorry if my comment was boring to some, but this video was historic and fascinating for me to relive.

Left and right on the pre-HPTR 737, not up and down. But the airflow from the adapted 727 unit did indeed tend to lift the wing up.

I love the -200 especially the cockpit. Thanks for sharing these old birds.

they still fly around

nice video of this flight and the classic 737-200 nice to see that some of these are still in service!

The Captain, "its a very warm 20°". Ha😂 That seems like a pretty quiet and smooth bird. ✈️

I like how the pilot upon landing was all like "do we need thrust reversers?? Maybe? NAH!!"

Super amazing video!!! Your channel is the best!!!

Outstanding video, as always!

Love those TRs

Awesome Video Alex!👍

I always loved the sound of the flap motors of the -200's

Nice Old Classical Airplane One of the 1st 737s to Enter Service

For those who came for the legendary thrust moment @32:07

Wow. Don't see too many 200's still flying. Good for Canadian North. What a testament to Boeing. I miss PIEDMONT!

I miss Piedmont Airlines as well. My 1st flight ever was with them, on a brand new 737-200! I was able to deploy the air stair when we arrived in richmond, va. I also remember those doors that opened up on either side of the jet intake. They let more air in, for more power on take off. A also received a tour of the cockpit on that trip. Thanks Piedmont! Wonderful trip, great memories ! About 40 years ago.

@@HighTide1715 : ehhh.... not so much more air for more power so much as "more air so compressor doesn't stall." The intake on the early 731/732/73S was actually shorter and had a slightly smaller area. It was replaced with the later inlet due to noise around 1973 or so.

Good to see Yellowknife what it actually is in the Northwest Territories and to see their version of June gloom

sounds strange a 737 without the growl of the newer models

12:07 and after - much better view due to plane having turned around and the glare of the sun no longer being in way.

nice man!! you got some good stuff. I'd rather watch you than Jeb Brooks and Sam Chui. They fly around on these new aircrafts. It's great to see you on the Combi. what a great aircraft. But not better than the MD 80 and their JT8D engines.

The pilot was very gentle with the throttles on takeoff and reverse thrust on landing. Fuel saving measures?

yes, and helps reduce engine wear so it is SOP.

It is so wonderful to know that the old 737-200 is still flying and serving in Canada! Together with my friend I try to visit Edmonton next year to make a flight with this good old "Baby Boeing" . Well, we 'll see whatever is possible in your timetable. Greetings from the Netherlands by Arie Bert Versteeg ;-)

That's very cool! Was it a special flight or are they still flying that aircraft commercially?

In Canada they fly it because the newer ones cant handle it. Small airfields and even gravel kit. That crap thats made now cant even stay in the sky.

Classic: B737-100/200/300/400/500 Next Generation: B737-600/700/800/900 MAX: 7/8/9/10

This thing still exist?

Was this a combi B732

Do they smell old inside

unfortunately no inflight Service. very friendly welcome on board from the Pilot and the crew

For a lot of our northern comunities they are the only jet aircraft that can be used because of the gravel airfields. Some of the 200s have a special gravel kit for such operations.
