| Description |
On 9 April 1967 the Boeing 737-100 made its maiden flight. ""With pilots Brian Wygle and Lew Wallick at the controls"" notes Boeing, ""the airplane took off from Boeing Field in Seattle and flew for 2-1/2 hours before landing at Paine Field in Everett, Washington."" The 737 soon became one of the best selling commercial aircrafts in aviation history. The Boeing 737 was designed as a logical short- range airplane to complement larger 707 and 727 jetliners, which made it ideal for New Zealand. The images above come from a 7 June 1965 presentation to the New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC), and show a New Zealand branded Boeing 737 in flight. A month later on 19 July 1967, NAC signed a contract for three 737s, becoming customer '19' and the first New Zealand operator to purchase the new model. The first of the three was delivered on 18 September 1968 - setting a 737 distance record on the Honolulu-Nadi leg in the process.
