The Boeing 737 is the most ordered and most produced jet airliner in history with over 6,000 manufactured and a further 2,000 on order in May 2009. On average there are 1,250 737s in the air at any given time.

The Boeing 737-200 was a stretched version of the -100 which made its first flight on 8 August 1967.

From 1971 it also had other improvements including more powerful engines and increased fuel capacity.

Production of the -200 ended in 1988 after 1,114 had been manufactured, many remain in service with second-tier airlines of developing nations but are being phased out because of noise and poor fuel efficiency.

Air Nauru was established in 1970 and, at its height, operated a fleet of seven Boeings, of which C2-RN3 was the first it acquired.

This model represents C2-RN3, flown by Air Nauru between 1975 and the early 1990s.
