Yes. They are almost identical. Think about it — what features do you need to make a regular 737-700 into a 737-700ER? These are precisely the same features that were added to the BBJ1.

Added fuel tanks and I think the 738 landing gear and wings. I was trying to find definite information.

How is that any different than the existing BBJ?
I am trying to discern if there is anything different between the two aircraft. It would appear that the 737-700ER is simply a BBJ with a different name.

I think it involves installing some features in the cabin to make it a commercial aircraft like a rear-facing flight attendant seat at the front of the aircraft.
From an engineering standpoint, I'd imagine it's the same aircraft.
