SEATTLE, Aug. 9, 2005 -- Turkish Airlines (THY) will add an additional eight Boeing Next-Generation 737s to its fleet as part of its order placed in 2004 for 15 airplanes of the same type. Deliveries of these additional eight airplanes start from 2008. In this image, a 737-800 is show in Turkish Airline livery equipped with winglets. The Istanbul-based airline currently operates a mix of 43 Boeing Classics and Next-Generation 737s.

The same "next generation" 737s that Southwest is currently flying?

The last time I flew on a Turkish airline it caught on fire out over the Mediterranean. The Muslims all prostrated themselves on the floor in prayer which probably saved some of them from asphyxiation but also prevented the stewards from serving cocktails to those of us more interested in getting real drunk real fast. The crew couldn't lower the oxygen mask with the cabin on fire.

Other than that, it was a good flight and I would recommend the airline to anyone seeking adventure.
