I don't know if that person who "doesn't want to dox their neighbor" knows that their neighbor is already famous for building a plane and living in it but if you wanted to see pictures and read the story of how he got the plane, here it is.

i thought southwest was all 737s?? why does she look so stubby???

Southwest is all 737s, yes! It's wild how quickly the 737's reputation has changed because they used to be The stubby plane.

There are four 'generations' of 737 - original (100/200), Classic (300/400/500), Next Generation (600/700/800/900), and MAX (8M/9M/7M and 10M when those enter service). The first 737 model from all the way back in the 60s, the -100, looked like This:

(They only made 30 of them and they were basically all Lufthansa's, but I think NASA might still have one)

Because, you see, the 737 was intended to be strictly a short-range jet carrying small amounts of passengers and because of that it was absolutely teeny. It was actually meant to compete with planes as small as the Fokker F28, and in modern terms I'd compare it to something like an A318 or E170 (except far more limited in range). Original 737s operated routes you'd probably use props for today. They were literally made to take over on routes too small and low-capacity for the 727.

(Check out those weird stretched out nacelles - those are JT8Ds, and they're most prominently also used on the DC-9 but you can also find them on some 727s, some Caravelles, and one of my favorite obscure failed airliners, the Dassault Mercure. Get a long, little engine, they said. You can tell original 737s apart from Classics because those ones have regular(ish) engines.)

Then for some reason Boeing just kept stretching her?

737-200 of United Airlines | 737-300 (Classic) of LOT Polish Airlines

737-500 (Classic) of Southwest Airlines | 737-600 (Classic) of Air Algérie

737-700 (NG) of Southwest Airlines | 737-800 (NG) of Southwest Airlines

737 MAX 8 of Southwest Airlines

And now they're comparable to 757s, for some reason. I have a massive soft spot for the old stubby 737s. To me that's what a 737 is supposed to be. But the -800 was the most produced until the MAX 8, which I believe has similar numbers, so those are what people are most used to seeing if they grew up after the 727 era.

As for Southwest, they operated the 200, 300, and 500, and right now they operate the 700, 800, and MAX 8. They're planning to replace the 700s with MAX 7s, but those aren't getting built yet...so you got to see the 700, which, despite all the stretching, manages to hold onto some of the stubby glory the 800 and MAX lost. I think the Southwest livery looks extra good on her because of it 😊

Boeing 727-21, serial number 19260, VP-BAP on departure out of SXM. The Boeing 727 is an American narrow-body airliner that was developed and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After the heavy 707 quad-jet was introduced in 1958, Boeing addressed the demand for shorter flight lengths from smaller airports. On December 5, 1960, the 727 was launched with 40 orders each from United Airlines and Eastern Air Lines. The first 727-100 rolled out November 27, 1962, first flew on February 9, 1963, and entered service with Eastern on February 1, 1964. The only trijet aircraft to be produced by Boeing, the 727 is powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofans below a T-tail, one on each side of the rear fuselage and a center one fed through an S-duct. It shares its six-abreast upper fuselage cross-section and cockpit with the 707. The 133 ft (40.5 m) long 727-100 typically carries 106 passengers in two classes over 2,250 nmi (4,170 km), or 129 in a single class. Launched in 1965, the stretched 727-200 flew in July 1967 and entered service with Northeast Airlines that December. The 20 ft (6.1 m) longer variant typically carries 134 passengers in two classes over 2,550 nmi (4,720 km), or 155 in a single class. Besides the airliner accommodation, a freighter and a Quick Change convertible version were offered. 🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬 🛩️Aircraft Manufacturer: @boeing. 🛩️Aircraft Model: B727-21. 🛩️Aircraft Registration: VP-BAP. 🛩️FBO: @signaturefbo. 🛩️Route: TNCM - KVNY. 📍Location: Princess Juliana Int’l Airport, St. Maarten. 📆Date: 3/21/2023. 📸 Photo Captured by: Franklyn Wilson | @beeksphotos . 🛫 🛬 www.linktr.ee/beeksphotos 🛫 🛬 #tncm #sxm #instagramaviation #ilivewhereyouvacation #instagood #teamaviation #aviationlovers #corporatejets #businessjets #bizjets #aviationphotographyphotos #sintmaartenphotographer #sxmphotographer #planespotting #privatejets #passionpassport #privatejetillustrated #mahobeachexperience #malibuconsultingcorp, #boeing #b727 #pjp #fyp #vpbap #3212023 #beeksphotos #swipeleft (at Princess Juliana International Airport Sint Maarten) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFustJucqB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Playing in an old 1960s APU today It's likely from a Boeing 707-300 or 737-200. This little guy's basically a tiny jet engine powered generator. This guy's main 2 purposes is to provide an aircraft with it's own power on the ground for engine starting and providing air conditioning. The former might not seem important to some, but it is when the aircraft is cooking on the ramp in Arizona or a layer of snow is covering the plane.

Unfortunately the manual I have to go off for this APU now is for Paul the 727, but the general design is super similar. Kinda fun poking thru the diagrams and finding the parts on the machine :3

JETSET: un Boeing in Brasile diventa una discoteca

JETSET è qualcosa di autenticamente rivoluzionario: un Boeing 727-200 che questa estate diventerà una discoteca all’interno del Surreal Park, situato a Camboriù, nello Stato di Santa Catarina, in Brasile. Un progetto unico nel suo genere: attualmente l’aereo è in fase di smontaggio all’aeroporto di Curitiba dove sarà sottoposto ad un restauro, ad un processo di cromatura e tutto quanto sarà…
