“The 737-200 had its maiden flight on August 8, 1967. It was certified by the FAA on December 21, 1967, and the inaugural flight for United was on April 28, 1968, from Chicago to Grand Rapids, Michigan.[26] The lengthened -200 was widely preferred over the -100 by airlines.”

This is a very, very old aircraft. I think current 737’s are at -800 or -900~!

The -200 was a beast of burden for Southwest in the old days. Once the -300 came out, the -200 was dropped in status.

I didn't realize until a search that the last Southwest -200 was flown commercially until 2005.
