One should hardly be surprised that the world's most prolific manufacturer of commercial aircraft is also
the producer of the world's most popular jetliner. The 737 became the best-selling commercial jetliner
worldwide when orders for it hit 1,831 in June 1987 (surpassing Boeing's own 727 as the previous
champ). However, it wasn't always that way. In the first few years of production, there were so few orders
that Boeing considered canceling the program. They didn't, and the airplane has more than proven itself in
over three decades of service. The Boeing 737-100 is one of the early variants and is painted in NASA
colors.
