EVERETT, WASH. – The Boeing 737 turned 50 Sunday.
It has been a long serving workhorse, but Ted Hunter with the Museum of Flight says Boeing was unsure how successful it would be.
“They didn’t know what exactly was going to happen when they went ahead with production on this airplane,” Hunter says. “The plane’s gone on to be the most successful commercial airline in history.”
The museum had a party Sunday.
The pilot of the first 7-37 flight and the original engineers were on hand for the big event.
If you want to see the original 737 jet it’s always on display at the Museum Of Flight.
