Shows aircraft type as a B38M. Interesting, didn't know they were getting a separate id or is that unusual?

Interesting article on the back to back to back flight testing (-8/-9/-7/-10) and also answers a question that has been asked several times but not officially answered here -- towards the end of 2019 the Renton lines will be all Max (except for the P-8) -- no more NG's.

Any word on when the MAX 7 is scheduled to roll off the Final Assembly Line? The article mentions it is going to be loaded onto it in late November.

I like that they painted the window frames black, on AC #2 it look sharper, and cleaner than on AC #1

Oooo, I'd like to see that... Just to see if I can see where the section joins are... and if the door arrangements have changed. Honestly, I never saw any images of the finalized design of the 7.

It’s a straight shrink of the -8

Interesting, will that be the WN tail number as well?

First time hearing these would be 72XX airplanes for naming.

There is a 1.17m plug forward of the wing and a 0.76m plug aft of the wing. Two Type III overwing exists are also now standard.

Note: Wiki references an AIN Online report that states the aft plug is longer than the forward, but I expect they got the values mixed up. The graphics I have seen show the longer plug up front and that is usually the case for stretches.

I thought the 737-7 is a shrink.
