    I think it's important to realize just how important these aircraft are to northern Canada. Airlines like Nolinor operate them out of necessity, and unlike third-world countries that find ways to cut costs and go cheap, Canada preserves, updates, and maintains its aircraft beautifully. Thanks to that, the 737-200 Combi isn't expected to reach retirement until at least 2050. Watching these aircraft take off in deep snow and power through the most remote and hostile environments in the world shows that even old technology can outperform even the most modern aircraft in the world.
