"The 747 family is one of the most popular family of aircraft and was the first wide-body commercial airliner produced. The 747-200 variantincorporates more powerful engines, higher takeoff weights (MTOW) and range than the 747-100. There were several 747-200 versions produced. Introduced in 1971, and further improved over successive years, the 747-200 has higher thrust and weight-lifting capability than the 747-100, allowing it to fly further. A sub-variant is unofficially called the 747-200M and is a ""combi"" aircraft that can carry both at the same time. Like the 100, many 200s have been given a new lease on life as freight aircraft. There's a total of 393 747-200 versions built, when production ended in 1991. Currently, there are still many 747-200s still in operation, although most large carriers have retired the 747-200s from their fleets and were sold to smaller operators. Following the September 11th attacks, large carriers have speeded up fleet retirement and some 747-200s were either scrapped or turned into freighters. "

"The Boeing 747-400 is the latest, longest ranging, most advanced and best-selling model of the 747 family. It is the second largest commercial airliner after the Airbus A380. It was announced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in October 1985, rolled out in January 1988 and first flew on April 29, 1988. Production of the 747-400 passenger version officially ended on March 15, 2007. The last to order the -400 was China Airlines in November 2002, with the last passenger 747-400 constructed in 2005 and delivered in April of that year. It was the 1358th aircraft produced. The 747-400 is set to be replaced by the Boeing 747-8 in 2009. United Airlines (UA) is one of the only two US airlines that still operate the 416-passenger 747-400. On December 9, 2004, UA made history when Flight 869, a 747-400, landed at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The scheduled flight from San Francisco via Hong Kong was the first by a US airline since the end of the Vietnam War, when Pan Am halted service shortly before the fall of Saigon. United offers in-flight entertainment on all its mainline aircraft. UnitedFirst Suite is offered on the 747-400, which features a 78-inch pitch flat-bed seat that reclines to 180 degrees. On board, passengers can enjoy pre-takeoff beverages, a five course meal, and a personal entertainment unit featuring nine channels of video as well as an additional fourteen feature film titles.

"The 747-400 is an improved model with increased range. It has wing-tip extensions of 6 ft (1.8 m), winglets of 6 ft (1.8 m), which improve the 747-400's fuel efficiency by 4% compared to previous 747 versions. It has a new glass cockpit designed for a flight crew of two instead of three. The use of electronics reduced the number of dials, gauges and knobs from 971 to 365. It has tail fuel tanks, revised engines and a new interior. The longer range was used by some airlines to bypass traditional fuel stops, such as Anchorage. The -400 was offered in passenger (400), freighter (400F), combi (400C), domestic (400D), extended range passenger (400ER) and extended range freighter (400ERF) versions. The freighter version does not have an extended upper deck. The 747-400D was built for short range operations and does not include winglets, but these can be retrofitted. The passenger version first entered service in February 1989 with Northwest Airlines on the Minneapolis to Phoenix route. The combi version entered service in September 1989 with KLM. The freighter version entered service in November 1993 with Cargolux. The 747-400ERF entered service in October 2002 and the 747-400ER entered service the following month with Qantas, the only airline ever to order the passenger version. Some of the last built Boeing 747-400s were delivered with Dreamliner livery along with the modern interior from the Boeing 777. The last passenger version of the 747-400 was delivered in April 2005. Boeing announced in March 2007 that it had no plans to produce further passenger versions of the -400. However, orders for 36 -400F and -400ERF freighters were already in place at the time of the announcement. As of October 2008, a total of 685 of the 747-400 series aircraft had been delivered. At various times, the largest 747-400 operator has been Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines, and British Airways. "

"The Boeing 757-200 is a member of the popular 757/767 family of medium-sized airplanes. The 757-200 is a twin-engine short-to-medium-range jetliner incorporating advanced technology for exceptional fuel efficiency, low noise levels, increased passenger comfort and top operating performance. The 757 offers great versatility by reducing airport congestion. In January 13, 1982, the first 757-200 rolled out of the Boeing Renton, Washington plant. Its maiden flight was on February 19, 1982. The 757-200 underwent 1,380 hours of flight testing over a ten month period for certification by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. The 757-200 was delivered on December 22, 1982 to launch customer Eastern Airlines. The aircraft was placed into service on January 1, 1983. On January 14, 1983, the 757-200 was certified to fly in the United Kingdom by the British Civil Aviation Authority. The 757-200 version forms the majority of 757s sold. Boeing positioned the plane above the 737 and as an eventual replacement for the 727. This variant can carry up to a 228 passengers in a single class; however, it can carry a maximum of 234 passengers with a seat pitch of 29"". The 757-200 and twin-aisle 767 were developed concurrently, both having the same technological advancements in propulsion, aerodynamics, avionics and materials. That's why many airline operators operate both 757 and 767 airplanes. The 757-200's high-bypass-ratio engines combined with the wing design making it the quietest, most fuel-efficient jetliners in the world. The 757-200 is available in two different door configurations. The 757-200's interior became standard on all narrowbody Boeing aircraft. The 757's wing is less swept and is thicker through the center than earlier aircraft, permitting a longer span. The 757-200 flight deck pioneered the use of digital electronics and advanced displays offering increased reliability and advanced features compared to older electro-mechanical instruments. "

"Continental Airline is the fourth-largest airline in the United States based in Houston, Texas. Continental Airline is considered the eighth-largest in the world by revenue passenger miles. The 757 is the only type of aircraft which is being operated by all six U.S. ""legacy"" airlines and it includes the Continental Airlines. The B757 is an American twin-engine short to medium range commercial passenger aircraft manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 757 was the first Boeing airliner launched with engines produced outside the U.S., with early customers selecting the Rolls-Royce RB211. More than 1,030 of the 757s are still in service. The B757-200 variant of the B757, first flew on February 19 1982, can carry 228 passengers in a single class. The -200 version, a member of the popular 757/767 family of medium-sized airplanes, is a twin-engine short-to-medium-range jetliner incorporating advanced technology for exceptional fuel efficiency, low noise levels, increased passenger comfort and top operating performance. The 757-200 is the definitive version and forms the majority of the 757. The 757-200 version is shorter and has a longer operating range than the 757-300. The -200 was available in two different door configurations. One version used three standard doors per side with an additional, smaller door aft of the wing on each side for emergency evacuations. All eight door locations are equipped with inflatable evacuation slides. The alternate version is equipped with three standard doors per side (two towards the front and one at the aft of the cabin) with two ""plug-type"" overwing exits per side replacing the smaller door aft of the wing. Presidential challenger John Kerry used a chartered 757-200, nicknamed ""Freedom Bird"" during the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign. The -200 model has also been manufactured in freighter (757-200F) and passenger-freight combi (757-200M) versions. In the late 1990's, some of the airliners 757-200s were converted to freighters. "

"B737-900 Boeing's Next Generation 737-800 and 737-900 are the largest members of the strong selling 737 family. Alaska Airlines launched the B737-900 in 1997 and accepted delivery in 2000. Because the -900 retains the same exit configuration of the -800, seating capacity is limited to 177 seats in two classes, or 189 in a single-class layout. The 737-900 also retains the MTOW and fuel capacity of the -800, trading range for payload. The B737-900 is the newest addition and the largest variant of the Boeing 737 line and was introduced to meet the range and passenger capacity of the discontinued 757-200 and to directly compete with the Airbus A321. An additional pair of exit doors and a flat rear pressure bulkhead increase seating capacity to 180 passengers in a 2-class configuration or 215 passengers in a single-class layout. Additional fuel capacity and standard winglets improve range to that of other 737NG variants. The first B737-900 was rolled out of the Renton, Washington factory on August 8, 2006 for its launch customer, Lion Air. Then on April 27, 2007, Boeing delivered the first B737-900 to Lion Air. The B737-900 airplane features a special dual paint scheme that combines the Lion Air lion on the vertical stabilizer and the Boeing livery colors on the fuselage. Lion Air has ordered 100 737-900ERs to be delivered by 2013. "

"The Boeing 727 is a mid-size, narrow-body, three-engine commercial jet airliner. It first flew in 1963 and for over a decade, Boeing 727 was considered the most produced commercial jet airliner in the world. 1,831 Boeing 727s were delivered. The Boeing 727's sales record for the most jets bought in history was broken in the early 1990s by the Boeing 737. In August 2006, a total of 127 Boeing 727-100 aircraft and 493 Boeing 727-200 aircraft were in airline service. The Boeing 727-200 is a stretched version of the 727-100. The -200 is 20 feet longer (153 feet, 2 inches) than the -100 (133 feet, 2 inches). A ten foot ""plug"" was added in front of the wings and another ten foot ""plug"" was added behind them. The wing span and height remain the same on both the -100 and -200 (108 feet and 34 feet, respectively). The gross weight was increased from 169,000 to 209,500 pounds. The dorsal intake of the number 2 engine was also redesigned to be round in shape, as opposed to oval as it was on the 100 series. At the turn of the 21st century, the 727 was still in service with a few airline fleets. However, because in the meantime the U.S. FAA and the ICAO had changed their requirements for overwater operations, most major airlines had already begun to switch to twinjets, aircraft with only two engines, which are more fuel-efficient and quieter than the notoriously loud three-engined 727. Also, the 727 was one of the last airliners in service to have a three-person flight crew, including a flight engineer, a crewmember whose job is performed by computerized systems on newer planes. The Boeing 727 proved very successful with airlines worldwide partly because of its capability to use smaller runways while still flying medium range routes. Thus, Boeing 727 effectively allowed airlines to attract passengers from cities with large populations but smaller airports to worldwide tourist destinations."
