Went out early to shoot the Northern Air Cargo 737-200 this morning. As usual I was greeting with Rain, snow, fog and wind. I am a glutton for punishment when it come to the weather.
A beautiful 200 series with a beautiful livery.

Senga where did it come from?
As far as 737-200s in the US, Sierra Pacific might still fly it, Ryan had at least one not too long ago.
I too love the NAC paintscheme. Looks perfect on the 737 classic :mrgreen:
I remembered when people would make a huge deal out of the 737's getting winglets. I did not like how they looked and did not want to say anything as I was worried everyone would think I was crazy...but the -200 is one HOT looking little airplane!

Went out early again to get the NAC B732 on departure. I was at home getting ready to get my hair cut and I got the alert at 645am...it had filed a planned departure for 719am! So I dropped everythning and heading out. Turns out the plane departed 1:45 minute late.
My ground shot got destroyed because of a blasted UAL 757 that taxied in front of the damn 737 and to make things worse the plane lifted up way to early so I was stuck YET again with more cloudy crappy shots. I am a glutton for punishment.
I Love the 737-200 as well Fred. it has to be one of the best looking modern day airliners. I also love when they leave the engines in bare metal- it can't get any better than that.
Mario it flew- KONT-KJFK-KSHV and now to MMAA
Nlovis....if you have shots of your USA B732 Post them I'd like to see them.

I thought maybe you had NAC already. Once again, great catch my brother!
The red there actually looks darker almost brick-red in cloudy weather. Curiously it's a more normal red when the sun hits it (looks best in cloudy weather IMO). 737-200 series rule.
Only plane I find the winglets look good is on the 757, 99.9% of plane geeks however jump for joy when they see a plane with winglets. That's why I never let anyone know HOW MUCH I HATE WINGLETS :wink:
....yes post them NLovis, but aren't you a little too young to have seen those? The USAir 737-200s s were all in the regular livery by about uhh the mid-90's.

Mario,
Mario, no I didn't have NAC yet. I was pretty bummed that they were getting them in MIA to Haiti rigtht after the earthquake and I wasn't down there to shoot it.
That's true, this livery looks really nice in bright sun in crappy weather like I shot it in it doesn't look as good :( That bright cherry red turn like a dark cranberry color or something when its cloudy.
I thought the same thing about Nlovis..I was like....isn't Nlovis too young to have shot USA B732s?
:) Post away!

Well that one seems more interesting, eerie/mysterious looking in cloudy light to my eyes. Seems like a shot taken many years ago or something, kinda cool. All the NAC shots I've seen on the photo sites with good light looked kinda boring to me.
A rare case where cloudy makes it more interesting :D

Well let me put it this way. They were shot on my behalf by my father after 9/11. After hearing they were getting dropped. And yes I was too young to shoot them. I need to get them scanned into my comp but I'll try and take them with me to the event sat. See you all there :borat:
