737 Jurassic?

Not a joke, just its actual name. It's been that way for a while.

"With approximately 5,500 airplanes in service, the 737s (Jurassic, Classic and Next-Generation) represent more than a quarter of the total worldwide fleet of large commercial jets flying today."

This is a lesser-used name for the -100 and -200 variants.

Huh didn't know that

The name Classic stands for the Boeing 737-300/400/500. The 737-100/200/200adv uses the name Jurassic. 

 

Yes it is a little rude, I'd personally prefer 737 original, which is another name for it, but I can survive either way.

Jurassic = the first 737 and 727 generation.
Classic = second generation of the 737 (300/400/500)
NextGen is the modern 737 jets (-700/-800/-900/-NG)

Jurassic/Original: Boeing 737-100/-200

Classic: Boeing 737-300/-400/-500

Next Generation: Boeing 737-600/-700/-800/-900

MAX: Boeing 737 MAX 7/8/9/10

 

 

It’s original, not Jurassic
