The elusive Boeing 737-200......The Government of the Republic of Niger has been operating Boeing 737-2N9C(A) (5U-BAG) for along time now, first flight March 1978 & delivered April 1978, the aircraft is over 36 years old and has visited destinations throughout the African Continent, Middle East and Western Europe.......Note the gravel kit attached to nose wheel for poor surfaced runways...... Earlier this year, in September a second B737 was aquired by the Niger Government in the form of a 1998 737-75U(BBJ) (5U-GRN) powered by 2 x CFMI CFM56-7B26 engines. The newer aircraft will help share the travel work-load. Cant beat the classic lines of the 200 series, in a nice retro style livery too......
