Marcelo:

Excellent job. Downloaded from avsim. Thanks for it.

I was just reading on the Aerolineas website:

"Aerolineas Argentinas and Austral say goodbye to their Boeings 737/200 and will ground them after having flown for almost 40 years.

On November 15th, at 7:10 PM the last commercial flight served by a Boeing 737/200 will land at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery.

The last flight will leave from Aeroparque to Catamarca and La Rioja at 2:15 PM going back to Buenos Aires as the AR1424

During their almost 40 years operating for Aerolineas Argentinas and Austral, a total of 37 B-737/200 flew around 1,500,00 hours; an equivalent to 1,200 million of kilometres; 30,000 trips around the world and transported almost 100,000,000 passengers and 1,300,000 tons of cargo.

These impressive figures show the reliability and versatility of the aircrafts that now are being grounded so that the new 737/700 NG can take their place."


BTW, regarding new colors of the Airline, please take a look at this link:

First comment says "horrible" and the 2nd comment says "one of the best"... :-/...

The new color also looks pretty smart, if you ask me...

Anyway, I will do some flying w/ this livery this weekend.
Thanks again.
