The first 737s are almost 40 years old. Some older models have been scrapped; others are in storage; a few crashed.

The first plane off the line is in the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, Seattle. It is currently owned by NASA. You can learn more about it (and see some pictures) here.

All of the -100's are history, we flew the last one in the US, retired it 12/31/99.

Now, all the 200's are gone from US carriers (except Alaska I think still has their combi's, and maybe a few at Aloha). There were thousands of -200's flying, most got scrapped, lots are in other countries.

The 300/400/500 aren't in production anymore, and the 600 doesn't sell much, most that get built are the long range 700, the bigger 800, and the 900 which is almost as big as a 757.
