I go up with a friend and take the family up for a flight in a classic VIP 737-200 its been along time since I've operated a 737 yet alone a 200 lol but it was good to get back in that seat for a bit as it started to all come back to me .

This plane belonged to America West Airlines back in the late 80s into the 90s. I flew this very plane several times, it was one of our originals. This is so surreal and amazing to see her still flying. Lots of great memories working for that AWA.
Love to hear your story.
Awesome! I’ve got quite a bit of 737-200 time as Captain, Check Airman, A&P Mechanic. A fine machine!
Wonderful video, Seeing your children experience a free run around this aircraft, brings me back to my childhood, growing up in Invercargill New Zealand, my father was an aircraft engineer with NAC/Air New Zealand for 40 years.
Every opportunity I would spend the weekends with Dad “airside” (no such thing in the early 70s) in the deep south of NZ.
F27, Viscounts, and the 737 200
I would be sitting in the left had sit while Dad towed the aircraft from the apron to the hanger.
Best times ever with my Dad, and I am sure your girls will remember days like this as fondly as I do 45 years later.
WOW! That is one hell of a plane! That old girl is in great shape. That pilot knows this bird well, it seems. Very nice.
So this is how a "senior" checklist looks like... From the heart :)
What a beautiful family!!! I remember getting my PPL back in the mid 90's and my little girl, (around 5 at the time) was my first passenger... She was sooo excited!! She always wanted to know how my training was going and couldn't wait for me to take her :-) Enjoy every single minute with those young ladies... Cause they won't be young for very long... I walked my baby girl down the aisle last year and it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life!!! Take care Mr. Junkie and give those girls an extra big hug tonight!!! :-)
Proud to have done the load sheet for this aircraft and also travelled in the cockpit of 737-200.
Trick? Trim. Trib. Trim. Trick. Trim...I'll explain it when we land lol awesome they can experience that!
i love that the map display bluescreened. That old girl doesnt want any new tech installed on her.
Old schools pilots were the true aviators, navigators and communicators plus most would prefer the convectional avionics to keep skills as sharp as. Beautiful bird the 732A
What an absolute joy to see a classic 732 flying in 2021! Great vid as always, Tommy!!!!
Don McComb here. Awesome video Tommy! Checking my flight records, I flew in that 737 when it was with America West as N137AW from ONT to PHX in February 1988. I have to say, it has a much nicer cabin now! 😂
That’s some cool history! It blows my mind that they are now standard issue for Hawaii flights.
Peculiar flare maneuver: at 100ft thrust levers are reduced to idle and both hands go on the control wheel for the remainder of the flare and touchdown! I hope he carried extra speed above Vref!
Nice glide in huh?
I find it amazing that it takes half a day to do pre flight, flight plan and avionics checks and program routes.
That would sure make the run to OSHKOSH a great ride...... First Class and Fast ! Thanks for the ride along.
You bet!
Thanks for posting this. The 737 is my default aircraft in MSFS, so it is a joy to see the details of the 737- both on the ground walk around, and on the flight deck. I never saw the trim wheels in action, so that was a treat. I particularly liked the dog relaxing in pedigree-class.
Where did you download it from?
That is definitely an amazing aircraft and you can tell it's well taken care of too! Your videos are always incredible and with so much information. I love to see you continue to share your passion of aviation with the family. Thanks as always for putting this together for us all to enjoy Tommy and I'll see you in the next one. 😁
That is one clean 73! That wheel well was immaculate and way more simple than the NG.
Beautiful aircraft, fun with the family, and a wonderful host. What a blast.
That was pretty cool Tommy. Thanks for letting us tag along. You have a beautiful family.
Awesome video! Thanks for taking us along😁 That pilot sure knows and loves that aircraft. Beautiful machine , safe travels !
There is nothing more beautiful than the children conversations
your own cheerleading squad
@ 26:04 Young ladies response to the Flight Safety Message is priceless!!!! She's literally been doing Aviation her entire life...🤣
Great airplane! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!
28:20 White out is not a problem. The cockpit view is great. Very cool you got to bring your daughters ! Experience of lifetime.
Man I'm missing the classic airplane's. Thanks for taking us 👍✈❤
man i would love if i was able to get my dad out to see this plane. he flew the 737-200 for a few years with western airlines back in the day. if only i could get him to come see this one.
What an adorable 737-200!
Seeing that 737-200 brought back memories of my one set of flights on a 737-200 - a hop from Kahului to Honolulu, and back on Aloha back in 2002 ... I feel old.
@17:53, man, I’m so lucky to have all-glass panel instead of steam gages.
All glass...unsafe. Have fun when that glass screen goes dark on a cat lll landing. Smh
Ah Chino…….my favorite airport. Spent almost 40 years volunteering at Planes of Fame working on and flying some of their planes. Miss my friends there since I moved to Virginia 2 years ago.
Great video, what a wonderful way to make ever lasting memories with your family! Wishing you blue skies & smooth rides!
Flying 737 just wear T-shirt so cool 👍
Man, the last time I worked on one of those was back in 1999 at Dee Howard Aircraft Co. of San Antonio, TX. Even on the 100 series out of Area 51.
Very poor technique from the pilot flying taking his hand off the thrust levers at 100’ and using both hands to control the aeroplane. Never seen that taught or read about it in any Boeing Flight Crew Training Manual.
32:46 I was so worried she was gonna trip a breaker lol
I like the Shake
Bake ,sounds like
this Boeing is ready to
Break, loose Up up
and away⛅... ✈
this Plane junkie is
here to stay .
23:30 windows Stop Screen (BSOD) better known as the Blue Screen of Death in full display. So funny ha ha
Awesome video thank you so much and it’s great seeing the girls again they’re getting so big it’s interesting that where iin the cockpit there is a checklist preflight going around under the plane there isn’t even though there’s a very comprehensive list of items that have to be inspected.
Nice plane!! did it have the "tiller" for taxing? I flew a 737-200 sim once that had it and it was a workout!!!
it sure did
@@PlaneJunkies
Thanks, I couldn't see it and wondered if it was a upgrade - HA!
@@Parr4theCourse real airliner tillers work wonderfully and are smoothhhh
I sure do miss seeing this aircraft type, I started working on the 737-200 in 1984 with Nordair. Part of the fleet were combi’s with gravel kits to operate in the Arctic.
Awesome video... woulda rather seen the engine start than the fmc but none the less, very appreciated!
Is it just me or could you be a Tiger Woods impersonator? lol.
This is an amazing video. Thank you for posting it. My hubby that works at the airport was fascinated with the similarities with the newer generation 737’s.
Beautiful plane and nice flying. 👌🏿
Am I the only one that noticed the BSOD on the IFE screens haha?
Absolutely engaging. Big fan of the baby boomers. Late Cousin used to fly these. I think all your Kids will be Pilots in future ! Great video !
thank you
I'm a fan of the ww2 generation the boomers have sold off our country to the highest bidder and gave us 30 Trillion in debt
Really awesome 'flying along' with you and your family on one of these in 2021. Very different from the Aloha jets I flew on back in 1999!
Nice looking Airliner it is!
Great Video Tommy! Glad to see the Mr Sorenson doing his thing. Maybe its time to do some 737-700 and 800 walk arounds? just saying....
Thanks for the video
Awesome Video!! Really cool to see an ol' -200. Let alone a VIP -200. Really cool. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Tommy, nice to see you in a different aircraft and showing us a different side to your family and all. Do you have to get certified every year in that aircraft to keep your rating?
That was fun, thanks! ✈️
2 awesome pilots
Love that plane.
AWESOME AWESOME.. I miss the 737 - 200 it's a rocket ship. One loud airplane with the Pratt & Whitney JT8 D's
It's great to see a 737 Original still fly. Great video by the way. :)
Wow that old 200 series looks very classy!
Older aircraft seems like No digital screens in cockpit
Great footage Captain ,, Ironically that Smartphone 29:57 on the center console has more technology than the entire Aircraft
Not !!! Funny 😕
Well, the hydraulic system and auto-trim feature in the Smartphone are definitely lacking :-)
Nice Tommy,
Looked like a comfortable aircraft. Good to see you guys again.
Shake n Bake!
I like the shirt almost as much as I liked the video. Fun
thanks
That's quite an upscale interior on that bird.
Awesome aircraft...
How awesome.
It’s fun flying classics
@@PlaneJunkies Big difference in the avionics lol! Also the interior was so nicely kitted out. Beautiful plane.
Well, nice video, nice aircraft, I’m glad to see a well maintained old aircraft. But this 200, we call it jurrasic here anyway hahaha
The aircraft type that made me fall in love with anything aviation. Absolutely stunning 737-200 . she's definitely stood the test of time I'm jealous. What's the charter company?? Great video
The aircraft started life in 1984 with America West. Since 2015 it has been owned by Transair (Rhoades Aviation). The same company who recently ditched a 737 in the ocean off Hawaii.
Also with the added fuel tank on this maybe you could take the girls to Hawaii and do some videos there hopping between the islands that would be some beautiful flying!😊
STRONGLY suspect that this old girl isn't qualified for ETOPS for the ~5K miles over water to Hawaii...
Wouldn't take much to qualify just an extra tank. Hundreds of 737,s cross the pacific to Hawaii everyday
Thanks for the ride and the cockpit tour.
that would have to be the best looking 737-200 out there nice
Fn love the crew
wow....
What a beautiful charter plane.
Great video Tommy, that was fun to try an new/old aircraft with you.
so funny to see all analog
Lol taking it back old school
What a beautiful Airplane. Great Video!
Thanks a lot!
Great video as always. Thanks for the ride.
a beautiful classis....thanks for sharing
Their Gulfstream regularly flys over my house in Corona.
Did my instrument at CNO, at an FBO that is long departed.
Nice, very nice airplane flight experience, video!👍
What? No gravel kit? What a beautiful old craft!
Boeing first B737-100/200 models were initial...B737-300/400/500 were classic followed by the NG and the Max .
That aircraft is a rocket ship taking off.climb in inspection ports
Great video!! Well done!!
I hope they can all fit inside such a small jet.
Amazing!
I see that thing sitting at KCNO every day. I've never seen it fly...until a couple of weeks ago. I think it may have been this day when you took the video.
Awesome Tommy, thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! CNO is one of my local airports, and so far I’ve only caught this thing once about a month ago doing 2 test flights. When by chance was this filmed? Because I really want to catch this thing again taking off. It is LOUD from the outside and you can hear that signature JT8D popping and crackling still despite having hush kits which I was very shocked about!
Thanks for this awesome video!
How awesome, awesome Dad too 👍👍
does your friend own this aircraft? who paid for this crazy expensive flight and amazing opportunity!?!?! I was on the ramp and did the same walk around of this aircraft when I operated out of Chino! Even took some pictures of my car in front of it!
Takes alot of nerve asking who paid for what lol. Rude
Beautiful family Tommy,...plane not to bad either!
737 Jurassic but interior is very superior 🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful
Good video . Enjoy guys
Thanks 👍
Looking really nice with family.
Very nice. What was the wheel that was spinning inside the cockpit and how does it work? To my understanding all of the 737s to the Max's have them. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs?
Elevator trim wheel.
Those wheels are adjusting “trim” which is like fine-tuning the balance on the elevator control surfaces (plane going up and down, or trying to stay level in changes in wind). The primary controls- the yoke, rudder pedals)- are used for major adjustments to get the plane into approximate position, but the trim is like the minor adjustment and is less stressful. There are also aileron trim, and rudder trim, each affecting these other control surfaces, all for the same balancing purposes.
It's called the trim wheel. It relieves pressure from the yoke so let's say you are climbing and having to pull back on the yoke to maintain the climb, you would trim up so that you can let go of the yoke and still maintain your climb rate. It's often called the 'poor man's autopilot' lol
Stab trim, it adjusts the stabilizer up and down
Thanks PlaneJunkies
Man that classic looks better than some 10 year old NG's out there...
