Delta and the 737-200....

AA stands for aluminum airliners

BTW, I've heard that the 737 is the only plane that can scrape an engine when crabbing for a cross wind landing...anyone know if this is true?

I am not sure on that one...If I had to guess it would probally be the -300 series that would be possible in...Not much clearance under those big CFM's...

Alot of airplanes can.... The DC-8 is real tricky to land in a crosswind.

KC-135R-models with the CFM-56 engines.

Well, so much for that theory. It sounds like planes with
skinny engines that later get fat ones are all candidates
for scrapage. Thanks for the replies.

I flew on a CO 737-800 last year EWR-RSW. I was extremely impressed as it was the first 737 series I flew on, very nice, comfortable, TV's etc. I'm scheduled to fly on a 737-200 STL-ATL in March, it'll be interesting to compare the two.
