This picture for itself already says everything,his is the first Brazilian Boeing 737 and this operated continuosly by VASP since delivery in July 1969 till being impounded at Congonhas by the Brazilian CAA in September 2004 due to high cycles and pending maintenance issues. It is worth to mention that contrary to a popular "Internet Legend", PP-SMA was not sought by the "Boeing Museum" for display and neither it was the 737 model that flew longest with the same operator.It is a scene of breaking the heart.Dedicated to all the lovers, ex-employees and admirers of this magnify company.
