Somebody asked me to make them a model of this plane C-GPPW for FS2000 but since I do not own that program or the mesh making software the best thing I could do for them was re UV map a existing mesh that was already available. I found this mesh to be highly detailed enough for the task at hand. It took 100 hours to repaint this puppy in Canadian colors.Everything except the wheel wells were remapped, I couldn't really improve on them any. This is what the plane looked like in the 80's.

AIRCRAFT MODEL  : Boeing 737-217 Advanced
TYPE            : Twin Jet Commercial Transport
MANUFACTURER    : BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE GROUP
Fleet Number    : 753   

HISTORY:
The 737-100 and 200 are the first generation production models of the world's most successful
jet airliner family. 
The 737 was conceived as a short range small capacity airliner to round out the Boeing jet
airliner family beneath the 727, 720 and 707. Announced in February 1965, the 737 was
originally envisioned as a 60 to 85 seater, although following consultation with launch
customer Lufthansa, a 100 seat design was settled upon. Design features included two underwing
mounted turbofans and 60% structural and systems commonality with the 727, including the same
fuselage cross section.
The 737-100 made its first flight on April 9 1967 and entered service in February 1968. By
this time however development of the larger capacity 1.93m (6ft 4in) stretched 737-200 was
well advanced, and the first 737-200 flew for the first time on August 8 1967. Developments
of the 200 include the 200C convertible and quick change 200QC, while an unprepared airfield
kit was also offered.
The definitive Advanced 737-200 appeared in 1971, featuring minor aerodynamic refinements and
other improvements.
Sales of the 737-200 far exceeded that of the shorter 100 and the 737-200 remained in
production until 1988, by which time it had been superseded by the improved 737-300.
