Does anyone ever operate 737-200ADVs and/or 727-200ADVs late enough in a game (2005 and 1999 respectively I believe) to have the option to retrofit winglets, and if so, do you equip them?

Winglets don’t really work in game

Nah. I would if I could do it in bulk, but one at a time? Not worth it.

I mean in general no. Sometimes they can last that long but usually by that time those aircraft have 2 or more better replacements. I usually don't have them by '99, the only time I held on to them was as emergency capacity in Australia because of their short takeoff runs. Winglets just aren't a priority when the plane is 30-40 years old.

retrofitting winglets to older aircraft like the Boeing 737-200ADV and Boeing 727-200ADV may not be a priority when the planes are 30-40 years old.

I once bought a large quantity of used 732's that had been delivered past their "end of production", and kept them long enough where I may have equipped some with winglets. If I did, I don't remember any performance difference.
