The prototype of the '''Boeing 737-300''' rolled out of the Renton plant on 17 January 1984, and first flew on 24 February 1984. After it received its flight certification on 14 November 1984, USAir received the first aircraft on 28 November. A very popular aircraft, Boeing received 252 orders for it in 1985, and over 1000 throughout its production. The 300 series remained in production until 1999 when the last aircraft was delivered to Air New Zealand on December 17, 1999. | The prototype of the '''Boeing 737-300''' rolled out of the Renton plant on 17 January 1984, and first flew on 24 February 1984.

The 737-300 1.9.1 | The 737-300 1.9.1 was FlightGears' most repainted airplane. But the aircraft was refined in many ways, so the liveries from 1.9.1 don't fit anymore to 737-300 for 2.0.0. | ||
So thanks to Brett Harrison, we have now two paintkits. One for Gimp: [http://www.mediafire.com/?yhm4uvzzmjm]and one for Inkscape:[http://www.mediafire.com/?keu2mizyvwj]. | |||
Already included are AirFrance, Lufthansa Retro and KLM. Maersk Air and many, many more soon to come will be available on the official FlightGear's liveries page! | |||

As the aircraft is still in developement, following issues will be started to sort out this year: | |||
