Canadian North to hold farewell for last gravel-friendly 737
Canadian North will dispense with its last Boeing 737-200, a specially modified jet aircraft capable of landing on gravel airstrips, following a final flight on Saturday. (cabinradio.ca) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Way back when I worked at Prudhoe Bay for ARCO Alaska, there were B737 with gravel kits landing on the ARCO strip. Seems like at that time there were Alaska Air, Wien Air, and possibly Mark Air flying those.
A better photo of the equipment configuration would have been nice.
Ah yes. I have lovely pictures (and memories) of the versatile Canadian Pacific 737 that schlepped us from Edmonton to Resolute Bay.
Remember the 757? Better short field performance, higher useful load. Are these gravel approved? Trump's re-engined 757 I believe may be so certified.
But then again, Trump would never be caught going to any site that had a gravel runway. A rougher-than-normal landing could ruffle that hairdo.
The 757 is not gravel certified. Short field and gravel field are not the same thing.
