Hunting for the 732 and 736.
The 737-200 and -600 are so far the only existing 737 types I have not flown on.
Do some of the Canadian airlines still fly them? Do they have them on scheduled charters? Open to the public for booking? |
Air Inuit still uses the 737-200 on scheduled passenger flights. Their flight schedule page (https://www.airinuit.com/en/book/flight/flight-schedule) lists aircraft type.
WestJet retired the 737-600 I do not believe there are any 737-600s operating in Canada . |

According to Wikipedia, there were 991 -200 frames delivered, while only 69 for -600.
I know for sure I've flown -200 at least once, with one aborted takeoff at high speed (not counting that one as we never got off the ground, and much to my amazement stopped just short of end of runway). I am pretty sure I've never flown -600 and now that WestJet got rid of theirs, I am pretty sure the odds are very, very low I'll ever get a chance. C'est la vie ..... It's 747-8 that I feel is lacking in planes I've never flown :( Well that and the Concord ...... |

Looks like the 737 fleet has really been cut down. SK used to have 30 examples of the -600 so almost half of production but only 1 737 of any flavour for medevac uses these days. Did manage to fly one exactly once, WS between YLW and YVR. Also old enough to have probably flown on a -100.

I have flown on just about every 737 type, except the -100, -200, and -600. And also the combi.
Otherwise, I have flown on the 733 all the way to the Max 9. The -600 is just a big gaping hole. I would have to fly to Algeria just for it. LOL |

IIRC one of those is sitting in a museum in Seattle (along with one of the Concords). |
Aeroflyer does charter work with a pair of -600s.

I would not be so sure about that. Only 30 were made, and two of those were for NASA.
Also flew on a LH 737 xMUC-LHR once in the very early '70s. Not as confident it was a -100 however. |

S:p tempting! Anyone else up for a trip? (Looks like Janet still flies these too...)

I have flown on both the 200 and 600 variants. Trust me, you're not missing anything.

My last 732 flight was on VV. I'd been h:Dping for the scheduled Yak-42, and paid more for that flight over one on W6 on something up-to-date and boring. A last minute schedule change brought us a 732, complete with low bypass engines and clamshell thrust reversers. |

The only other attraction of flying an early 737 is using the self-stowing stairs that these a/c could be equipped with if you get to a hardstand airport (sort of like using the tail cone stair of a 727 or DC-9, not sure if the M80s every came with these). I'm one of those who has flown on too many 737-200s (including the only WS -200C, in all-pax configuration), too many -300s and -400s (handful of -500s on LH and CO), and a smaller amount of -700s, -800s and -900s (as well as the sole -600). Only one Max flight so far and that's on a MH 7M8. Hard to tell them apart other than the cabin interior. |
