Classic British Flight Sim

WestJet have just retired their last fluf-jet and released this very nice little video of its last flight. Some nice high-speed low passes and dirty smoke

Nice vid, Ive some fond memories of the Ryanair -200's

Southwest produced a similar video when they retired their last -200, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. Aircraft type retirements are always something I'd love to see recorded for posterity and put out for the public to see because every time it happens, it's the end of an era and should be celebrated. It was sad to watch almost all of the 727's in passenger service to be quietly retired in the aftermath of Sept 11th without any real fanfare.

A beautiful and legendary Aircraft that will always have a special place in my heart. Sob! :crying:

What a brilliant video, thanks for posting it.

Great video, with a great evocative soundtrack to it.
Spent many a happy hour aboard Britannia B737-200's.

Cheers

The first memory I have of flying where I can remember the aircraft was an AirCal 737-200 that had built in air stairs in both the front and back of the aircraft. For the rear stairs they were mounted on the rear door which opened downward and the stairs folded down.

It was a pretty ugly livery but it was the 70's. Its sad to hear these aircraft are finally being withdrawn.

Unmistakeable, er... she's beautiful in all poses. :think:
