I was just looking at promo pics of the 737-200 Captain, and I looked up the registration (N954UA) The only pictures were of a United Airlines 737-500. I looked up the dimensions of the two, the 737-500 is 101' 9". The 737-200 is 100' 2". Some 737-500s have the analog cockpit like the 737-200s have. Does anyone know if some were converted?

A conversion would be nearly impossible, because the vertical stabilizer, wings, engine mounts, gas tanks, etc are all different. The early classics had analog cockpits. Airlines will re-use registration numbers, and perhaps nobody has published any photos taken of that particular 737-200

I can understand that, I was very doubtful that it was possible, but didn't know so I though I'd check...
