like the salmon scheme..I wonder what the camera ship was

[hrtpaul]

Cool vid Tony. There's some cool paintjobs amongst that lot

[Tony P]

I think the camera ship would be a LearJet. Clay Lacy's company does most of the inflight stuff. Have been trying to find a picture but can't find one but I found a video:

which lead me to this. They've done some of the most iconic scenes in movie history (aviation wise):

Lear cameraman, wow, that's one job that could drag me out of retirement

Great footage Tony....people hang dirt on the old 737...no other aircraft in its class will ever match what it's done, how well it flies and it's reliability... And she still looks good after all these years.

Ah, the 737....if I ever get the chance to fly the big shiny jets, the 737 would be my chariot of choice.

[Capt NG]

They're a pocket rocket Damo...The NG had allot of issues when it first came out, but what aeroplane doesn't when you tamper with it.. Happy to say that they've ironed out allot of the issues and the aeroplane we have today as the NG is a wonderful aeroplane. Spend a day in a 737 operation and see how many cycles they do and where they fly, and you'll quickly get an appreciation of the design and capability.

The 737-400 was probably by far the nicest handling of the lot though..

I've always liked the look of them, and my sim ride courtesy of Ray had me hooked. I just hope they stay in service long enough to give me a shot!

That has to be some of the most stunning airliner air to air I've seen!

Great post!

Cheers
