Here, have some gorgeous 737MAX over the Columbia River Gorge

The 737 was originally something of a flop, and it wasn’t until the switch to the CFM56 engine that it became a truly successful design. The latest iteration of the 737, the MAX, is probably about as far as the basic design can grow, but we can expect to see them rolling off the production…

The latest iteration of the 737, the MAX, is probably about as far as the basic design can grow, but we can expect to see them rolling off the production line (at a rate of up to 2 or even 3 a day) for many years to come.

The flight is presumably staged out of Moses Lake airport, in central Washington state, where Boeing does much of its flight test, and takes place over the gorgeous Columbia River Gorge.

    C’mon now and roll her. She’s obviously stable in a 70/80 degree bank so just shove her over.
    She also looks like she could easily do a big lazy loop at altitude.
    I know what the lawyers say, but those of us who actually ride in the things would take great comfort in knowing that they can be safe even when pushed into the pointy ends of the flight envelope.
