Jump to postI loved the sound of those engines. They have a distinctive sound. I've been on countless Delta 737-200 aircraft until they were retired from the fleet.

Jump to postFolks; Here are three videos of a very professional flight. I don't have any idea when these happened but they are great videos of a real flight or at least what I think one is like.
