The AirClips.com Team had the fantastic opportunity to join Nolinor Chief Pilot Captain Jean-Christophe "JC" and his First Officer Pierre-Charles on a very very special mission on their classic 1983-built ex-Royal Air Maroc Boeing 737-200 Combi aircraft with an upgraded "glass cockpit". The trip started at the company's home base in Montreal Mirabel with only passengers, but not yet cargo on board. After less than an hour we landed in Val-d'Or for adding two pallets of cargo. From there a long stretch all across the Hudson Bay took us to Meadowbank Gold Mine where our relatively heavy jet landed on a GRAVEL STRIP! The first two legs will be shown in each one ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE. The return flights, which are also released on Air-Clips.com, took us all the way back with a fuel stop in Renkin Inlet and then back to Mirabel viaVal-d'Or. Enjoy AMAZING sights along the trip!

[@TrainTrackTrav]

2:19 THAT right there is the noise I love so much from those old JT8Ds. Such a sweet melodic down spooling. *BEAUTIFUL!*

[@XLRSAv]

2:24 - Best reverse thrust maneuver ever!

[@supraking1319]

You don't normally realize how fast these jets go until touchdown. Beautiful

[@fatassgaming]

This design of thrust reverser also has sort of an air brake effect too. So you’re not only getting reversed thrust but two times the amount of air brake.

[@yellowlynx]

It never fails to amaze me every time I travel by air. I would like a window seat, just to look at the flaps deployed, retracted etc. during takeoff and landing.

[@georgegonzales6137]

Man love the old 200s. Smoked like a chimney, loud as hell, burned fuel, but spooled up quick and hauled ass!!! Our pilots use to love them on the short hauls.

[@Skyprince27]

Once, I was seated next to a first-time flyer in that exact row, she had the window. She told me she was VERY worried, so I said I would explain every noise and everything happening on the wing, and reassure her that it was all completely normal. So I did, but she was still nervous as heck. I didn’t think to tell her about the thrust reverser being about to open, ahead of time... oops... when it happened, she practically shit her pants...

[@dwalther4856]

Compared to newer 737 models, maintenance costs are very high.But a big advantage is that You`re able to land almost everywhere with the slim engines, even on a meadow. One reason that some of them are still flying, for instance in Canada ( Nolinor Aviation ).

[@sksupply]

Best seat in the house on that old bird.

[@bobbycv64]

YES, this was the old thrust reverser on aircraft, called the clam shell. The reverser was deployed at the back of the engine. Today the thrust reverser is at the front of the engine. The first time I saw this was on Frontier Airlines 737-100 in the late 60's when we flew from Denver, CO -> Scottsbluff, NE -> Grand Island, NE -> Lincoln, NE and finally Omaha, NE - COOLEST THING EVER. They also did what they called a POWER BACK. Most Airlines utilized this all the time in RURAL airports, where there were no ground support equipment, e.g. Scottsbluff, Grand Island Nebraska.

[@AirClipscom]

well thanks for the nice comment Im always learning something new reafing your comments. This really helps the community and viewers who are more interested in the technical aspects of the video. Greetings from patrick :)

[@bobbycv64]

@@AirClipscom you are welcome Patrick and I am so glad you have shared this video, many people either do not know or forgot about clamshell thrust reverser. BTW, I forwarded your video with several people, hope they go here :-) Bobby

[@johnkern7075]

Yeah. I've seen that done before. Using the engines and the reverse thrusters to back away from the building.

[@mizzesorru]

Lol..the first time I sat on that seat and saw the reverse trust opening i got scared ..thinking it was falling apart..hahaha..some 30 years ago ...

[@crovert3283]

I remember flying a 200 series on MetroJet back in the day. Good times.

[@msgproductions3515]

That's my favorite model of the 737. I remember riding in one flying out of Denver Stapleton Airport when I was a kid. Good times!

[@bobbycv64]

OH MAN, that was my first experience on a FRONTIER AIRLINES 737-100 out of DEN Stapleton. My Father Robert Estey worked for Frontier both 60's and 70's.

[@EL15E]

safer than the 737 Max lol

[@flashesofblack4128]

I always love the beautiful sound those old P&W JT-8D turbojet engines made!

[@kenchung2675]

Either you have a super steady hand or your camera was attached to a tripod that was fastened to something solid. Great footage!!!

[@biohayzer]

These were the first engines I started to build during my apprenticeship back in 2000. Still great to see them operating✈️👌🏻🤓

[@robertholland5771]

I flew Piedmont Airlines in 1982. First time I ever got in a plane. LaGuardia, New York to Asheville, North Carolina. I remember watching the clamshell thrust reverser/ speed brake deploy. Great memory.

[@airzulu2733]

Brings back memories of my first flight on the 200 series around 1970ish Britannia Airways . One things for sure the 737 was the back bone of most airlines. Great aircraft and a few still flying around .

[@chrisnorman9980]

Just like landing in Sacramento when I flew on Air California 737s on their 25 minute flights between San Jose and Sacramento back in the 1970s. :)

[@mohammedimam3651]

Everything belonging to 70s is stunning! the aircrafts, the home decoration, the style of life, everything! I wish that the time return back to the 70s!

[@renardleblanc5556]

I just travelled back in time 30 years... I am 6 years old, flying from Inuvik NWT to Edmonton Alberta, so I can see a diabetic specialist. I've been playing Tetris on my (first generation) Game Boy for 4+ consecutive hours, and watching the engines unfold, as the plane lands, is the ultimate high point of the trip (even cooler than romping through West Edmonton Mall with 1/2 a years worth of allowance in my fist). X3 -thx for the trip.

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Always my favourite seat on a -200 and the well-known reverser bucket clang 😎

[@Roddy_Zeh]

I still remember that...2nd time I ever flew on an airplane was with a -200 (1st time was on a -300). The -200 always looked (and sounded) better in my book.

[@paulturner2911]

That is the exact view that got me into aviation, along with the noise. B737-300 Birmingham (BHX) to Tenerife South (TFS) on board a Britannia Airways machine when I was just 9 years old. From that day, I was hooked, and I still am. I have to say, if I ever win big on the lottery, I'm gonna have a hunt around for a decent B732 and have it as a biz jet, and then I'll buy a 727-200 aswell!

[@lloydboyette4815]

No better sounding jet engine than the old JT-8s.

[@TheTraveler976]

Wow the first plane I ever flew on was this model from PHL to PIT in 1995 on USAIR. I still remember it to this day. I was 10 years old. That sound is epic, you dont hear those anymore or see the great smokies.. This was great, childhood memories.

[@bigB6flyer]

Miss the old cigar engines & clamshell buckets. What great sound they make.

[@maidenthe80sla]

Takes me back to the old days traveling as a child.

[@brunov958]

It brings back so good memories from my childhood when I used to take these Varig's 737 200 visit my grandparents. So many things have changed since but those good times will always be alive in my mind.

[@johnfenlon458]

I remembered a long time ago in 1970. I was young. I rode the same seat there. I watched when it arrived. I never saw that for the first time in my life. It Sounds so LOUD! Great video! Thumbs up! Cheers!

[@AirClipscom]

Oh how nice you had the opportunity to watch it live. I was stunned about this engines the loud and old sound is awesome

[@drifteradol86z]

I love this aircraft with this engines!!!!! Old School baby!

[@apgardude]

Excellent! I miss seeing those -200's. And the noise. I love how the piece of engine pylon fairing is attached to one of the clamshells -- comes along for the ride!

[@damienstroud4691]

Love the low bypass engine

[@petebaker8445]

Ahh...the old "clam shell" reverser. Work on those in the late 70's.

[@ecchstore2939]

Ahh! Cool vacuum cleaner style old sound!

[@gooniac33]

I remember sitting at the viewing area by SFO as a little kid. I loved seeing the 737 pulling up!! They were some of the loudest and smokiest of the time!!! Such cool old planes to watch!! The newer one are still very cool too but they dont have the same character of the older ones... thanks for sharing this!!

[@garryconn8236]

When I was a kid remember the first time seeing this, and I was like wtf!! I thought the engine was falling apart! Lol 😝

[@mitseraffej5812]

No FMC to program, no waiting for the IRS to stand up. Just start up and go. Hand flying the 200 is a dream. Very little pitch change with thrust. Flys like a Piper warrior and just as easy to land. Boeing should have retired the design long before the 800 and definitely before the Max.

[@jagermiesterftn]

I’ve overhauled a ton of parts for these over the last couple years. Surprisingly there are some old workhorses out there.

[@Shiyuu_497]

Too cool, I am really impressed with that how aerodynamic works

[@thebattlefrontveteran6230]

That landing was BUTTER

[@timevans815]

My goodness, such a calm approach, hardly a twitch from roll equipment.Loveely touchdown, and, those reverse thrusters, magic!

[@EnglishTurbines]

More of a drag brake than a thrust reverser...Nice calm air on the approach...

[@gabbyhyman1246]

Ah the memories. The best part about the plane is you can gather up your money and hop off the back stairs!

[@ThatGuy-te9wh]

I love how on modern planes, the wing is always bending, but here, it's completely straight.

[@indridcold8433]

I love the high pitched whine of the JT-8!

[@jasonbabila6006]

I think the DC-9’s had a similar engine with similar thrust reverser

[@youchris67]

Wow! That's a sight I have not seen in 30-years! From there, it was the CFM6 engines with no where near the thrust reverse excitement.

[@thirdy_creates3831]

I love classic planes than today❤️

[@jamesanderson2921]

These old birds had character... even if they were noisy as hell :)

[@ELPaso1990TX]

737-200 first ever airplane I went on when I was a child and in the rear seats. Wow it made some noise on take off and landing. Felt and sounded like an earthquake. Beautiful airplane!

[@dlane5292]

Use to love boarding in Butte years ago. Down from the outdoor balcony, across the tarmac, & up the stair truck into the 737-200, with less then 30 people on board.

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

Might be the noisiest seat but the nicest view of the plane mecanic

[@sski]

HA! Best seat in the house, next to the cockpit itself. I've always loved watching the wings do their thing, but the added bonus is the thrust reverse on older aircraft like that 737.

[@WizardmasterNZ]

Remember, I was younger. That jet engine was loud, until replaced new B737-300 much less noise and more passenger was improved and until farewell in 47 years of B737 services, we replaced new AirBus 32x-xxx from since 2015. Later years, we heard that B737-Max were crashed in twice, that sadly. However we're lucky that no longer B737 at last.

[@arizonaforever7484]

Wow that pilot did a great job flew that in smooth and made a really smooth landing to top it off

[@Karmahandle]

Great airplane. Rode it many times back in the day. Considering all the issues Boeing is dealing with the Max and NG series 737's they should go back to the 200's.

[@luischaves5128]

Que bello diseño de ingieneria y garan habilidad de los pilotos👍👍

[@mikemunoz7378]

Almost cried watching this. Awesome. Miss the -200

[@jeffj126]

Good old clamshell reverse thrusters Boeing 727 Boeing 737, now that's flying!

[@strela1]

Lovely footage. BTW, I thought the logo light on the wingtip was an exclusive design feature that started with the B737-300 and newer aircraft. One never goes to bed without learning something new.

[@michaeltaylor1603]

Takes me back to 1997. Going to Colorado with my best bud to vacation @ Durango & Silverton + some other railroads. I always sat over or just behind the left wing.

[@Chrisairbus]

Good old classic ... still going strong 👍

[@ltshering]

it remind me of old days , no 200 flying in india , smooth touchdown

[@roch9940]

A nice piece of museum still flying....amazing!!!

[@itzfaroff456]

When I saw the thumbnail I got scared that it is falling apart xd

[@MrBones103]

Washed and buffed a few of those JT8D’s back in the day lol

[@robertkelly943]

I first saw this on a 737 I thought the plane was breaking apart while landing. I got use to flying quick while in the military.

[@reggierico]

It may have been a stubby guppy, but the 737-200 was a joy to fly! It flew like an airplane, (not a truck, like the 737-300), and those P&W JT8D engines were pretty much indestructible! I remember getting my type ride in an old Continental 737-100 model. We're sitting at the gate, after midnight in OK City and someone asks, 'Who is going to push us back from the gate?' The reply from the observer/check airman was, 'Oh, nobody, we'll just power back.' No problem, those were the days...

[@dlane5292]

737-200 flights on Western, Delta, America West, Southwest many times thru the 80's/90's for me.

[@APlifenow]

I've always liked working on those clam shells

[@tkk777]

*EPIC* ✌ sound from the Engines. 😎

[@Texasstyle67]

Thats musi in my ears. Live to fy the B737-100 and 737-200 in X-Plane. All time my favourite plane-nothing to compare with the Plasticbusses

[@Hecor._.]

No gonna talk about that butter landing

[@myflorin25]

Cool bit of kit older planes better than new ones

[@sapankumarchakraverty3647]

One of the best section to seat when in a plane.

[@manden22]

Landing 10/10

[@israelcastro2479]

Um clássico.( the best)

[@mehmettakbas9193]

2:24 Reverse green!!

[@brentsummers7377]

My first ever jet flight was on a 737-200. In those days if you got to the airport early to check in you could ask for a window seat IIRC I got seat 4A, written on the boarding pass/ticket with a felt pen! Anyway, it was a great experience. First of many flights on the 737s.

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

Surprised an airline is still using the 200 series 37!! Old school! I remember flying one from Gainesville to Greensboro back in the very early 90s when Piedmont still flew!

[@zhdarkshadow8504]

I saw thia lot already good old memories

[@Squishmello13]

That’s cool to watch. I’ve always wondered all the different high pitched sounds.

[@Aphelion1]

Delta once had quite a number of 737-200’s in service. I used to love watching those clamshell reversers in action. Options are limited now for fans of the mighty JT8D. DC-9’s are gone from first-world airline fleets and MD-80’s are on the way out.

[@msmeyersmd8]

Janet Air used these from 1981-2009. I used to watch from some of the hotels that faced McCarren in Las Vegas.

[@iloveappleyoutube7198]

That was a really nice smooth landing

[@TheFirstAssEater]

doesn't the old reverse thrust desighn work by placing full throttle while also directing it up using the pads that cover the thrust ?

[@fernandosalas8589]

Excelente Pilot. Kinda surprised wing very clean I was once on an Eastern L1011 in 1990 the wing was very old and dirty.

[@dendikurniawan8577]

glad to see they landed safely

[@petotis1]

I can’t believe your steady hand while landing man. Priceless! 👌🏼

[@1xflux]

This guy got airplane WiFi. He must be Rich Rich 😂

[@luiul1]

i can remember sitting in that seat. don't know how many times. looked at the flaps. how they contoured around the engine housing when extended. seeing the thrust reverser extend. oh my. did i just show my age?

[@joeymaterese8095]

A little help here please... It seems to me that watching these older planes redirecting the thrust by moving a Cowell in to place to slow to stop the plane have less wear and tear on the new engines that are traveling at great speeds only to reverse the trust internally like example throwing car in reverse (just a laymens thoughts of how it has to reverse thrust instead of redirection there for much more maintainance required

[@Perich29]

Last time I flew on the old 737 200 was on Southwest Airlines 20 years ago over the holiday.

[@JackedRado71]

The new ge-90-114 has a faster spool rate, which is crazy considering it’s the diameter of a 737 fuselage

[@talkradio5031]

How did you get such stable footage? Tripod of some kind? Whatever it was, great video!

[@moisesgolamco4257]

Very Good pilot, perfect flight & landing

[@chooch1995]

Old school!!!

[@YeOldMeme]

That reverse thrust tho
