Piloting Boeing 737-200 Yellowknife to Edmonton

[@islandcactus1508]

This beast is one of very few planes that can use its reverse thrusters to do a full pushback without any assistance. Love, love the 737-200!

[@nenblom]

Islandcactus I saw the MD80 do that one time. I had to rub my glasses to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing!

[@mynameisnick4163]

same here!

[@LaborchefDrKlenk-gb8rv]

Not entirely correct. First of all, the pushback that the aircraft performs on its own is called a powerback. Nearly every plane can do a powerback but most of them don't do it for safety reasons. A powerback on propeller-driven aircraft isn't too unusual. Aircraft with jet engines doing a powerback are rare (B727, DC9, MD80, Fokker 100, C17,...) and most of them have high-mounted engines. Only the 737-100 and 200 have low-mounted jet engines and can do safely a powerback. So this beast is one of very few low-mounted jet engine driven aircraft which can do a powerback without any danger to aircraft and ground crew. If the aforementioned aircraft do a powerback depends on the airlines and airports procedures.

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

The 717 can also do it, and airlines like delta, hawaiian, and qantaslink still use it. However, it is unsafe to do that, and any airliner can do a powerback. Even the new 737-max.

[@jakethepitador2558]

That's something I never knew. Quite amazing! Thanks.

[@adimo6673]

All dials, no rolling gps map, no fbw - real pilots. Kudos!

[@michelgardes]

If in a dream I could chose between flying the 737-200 and a 787, I would definitively go for the -200.

[@justplanes]

I'm totally with you on that one!!!

[@minerplayz9842]

tf?

@@minerplayz9842 idk who would choose this over a 787 but alr💀

[@jamarbrown8924]

I strongly disagree

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

Disagree, though it is a shame they retired these.

[@BlackFoxFalcon]

I`m currently working on my ATPL license and let me tell you, if I can get my hands on one of these, that be the absolute kicker. Nothing compares to flying on of those old birds. It`s pure flying. Love it.

[@christopherescott6787]

My Dad flew both GOPW and GDPA for PWA.and Canadian prior to his retirement in 95. I've flown on both many different times as a kid.Very much a hands on, pilot's aircraft.Tough and versatile. There is nothing like the flying tank to get the job done.

[@justplanes]

Very cool! Bet you're surprised these planes are still flying today :)

[@christopherescott6787]

I knew GOPW was still going.GDPA was a surprise. My wife and I are going to try and book a flight to Yellowknife on GOPW. She has never flown old skool and i'l love to show here the very frame he flew.

Really nice video, worth to watch!

[@Bammer2001]

Wait, when was this filmed? This is modern.

[@bayareaaviation17]

Old 737 Classics are the *BEST!!!!*

[@justplanes]

So true!

[@minerplayz9842]

AlaskaAirlines 17 why? They are so old and awful

[@bayareaaviation17]

Because they were the first 737 variants in the world, there so iconic and you can’t really see them out and about like a -700 or -800. They are very rare!

[@minerplayz9842]

AlaskaAirlines 17 if you mean it’s good because it’s rare then... you are right

[@rshvkkt91]

@@minerplayz9842 because they are the DC-3s of the jet age. Old but tough as nails and extremely reliable. Pilots love them because they are old school and demand good handflying skills to operate. Automation is rudimentary compared to the modern glass cockpit 737s and no autothrottles. The only replacement for a 737-200 is indeed another 737-200!

[@elm7666]

Great flight and smooth landing too. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@justplanes]

Thanks very much Erick!

[@pbr2805]

AH! I was wondering if you had a nav display screen to help you see the route, and not have to fly VOR only. ILS is great to use on landing.

AIR FLORIDA 737-200 was the first plane I flew in from PNS-MIA.

[@razzwilmz7970]

Is this 737 used for freight hauling? Also, why all the anti-gravel features? Really enjoy your channel. Your production values are always spot-on.

[@aaronpenner1093]

They still fly the -200 into a few Arctic communities with gravel runways.

[@justplanes]

Both cargo and passengers on the same aircraft.

[@razzwilmz7970]

@@justplanes The reason why I asked the freight question, is because, while the pilot was doing his walk around, i noticed a cargo sized door open on the left side of the aircraft.

I've never been disappointed with a Canadian-crewed JP video. This video has a detailed walk-around and cockpit presentation. Some of the pilot views of take offs and landings are really beautiful. If you are interested in the classic 737, get this one. I go back to this one often.
