BOEING 737-200

Hi guys, this time I made the good old jurassic airliner, the Boeing 737-200! Painted with Merpati Nusantara colors, the once legendary airline in Indonesia.

The Boeing 737-200 is the original variant of the commercial jet airliner from the Boeing 737 family. Well distinguished from the other variants by it's long and tiny Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines, the 737-200 will go on to serve with airlines in all corners of the world.

Merpati Nusantara is one of several airlines that operates the Boeing 737-200 in Indonesia, having a dozen or so units to connect cities and islands in the country. Besides the 737-200, the airline also operates other variants of the 737 family, such as the 737-300, 737-400, and the 737-500. Merpati went out of business in 2014 and many of their planes were either scrapped or transferred to other airlines.

GUIDE

A little trim adjustment can be done to maintain stable flight during cruising.
Maintain stable speed around 180-200 mph during approach for landing. Trim adjustments can be done to help with the approach (don't forget to reset the trim after landing!)
For those of you who plays on PC, I recommend to use mouse as joystick for better controls and smooth handlings. Hope you guys enjoy it!
