In CVS you can find a new aircraft: Helijah's 737-100, which is the follower of the civil short range planes 707 and 727 and Boeing's answer to the Douglas DC-9 and BAC 1-11. The 737-100 was first built in 1967. Only 30 planes or the 100's have been built. Until today this aircraft is under improvement. Actually Boeing delivers the version 737-900. | |||
