I did post this one earlier, but due to a lack of response i decided to post it again with the word 'video' it the headline, in hopes of getting everyone to see this wonderful video of the retirement of WS's last 732.

Hard to believe almost all of the 732's have been retired now from all North American carriers. DL unloaded the last of theirs last October, and WN has likewise retired all of theirs. Sad, but most of them are parked in the desert. Who still flies the 732?

Nice -- the -200 is old-school! I *love* the sound of those engines going full-bore... Love the sound of the 727, and the 707, too! Reminds me of travelling as a kid...

Wanna see some -200s?! Come on out to the Islands and ride around on AQ for a few days. You'll get more than your share or nostalgia.

Brings back memories. Watching the thrust reversers fold out is awesome. I always tried to get a window seat just behind the wing on 732s, each landing looks, feels and sounds like it's the last one of your life!

Thank you for that wonderful video. It is sad to see and old bird retired. Love West Jet use them many times out of YHM, great airline
Notice the Pulsing Landing Lights WestJet uses. And that Water arch by the Calgary Airport fire service is so sweet. The music fits that video perfectly.
Cheers

That roar when they put the coal to the fire is a sound I'll never forget.... fond memories of UA, DL, & PI 732's here in GRR.
Where there pax on the plane? Now THAT would have been awesome!!
Great video... thanks for sharing!
