The 737-200 had an optional gravel kit for unpaved runways! A few -200s still in use because of that feature



Neat - kind of like mid flaps for planes. Also thank you for teaching me a new word, "cromulent".


I am dating myself but I'm old enough to have watched the Simpsons episode where this word was invented in its first airing. Maybe it is a word now, I mean it's no more or less ridiculous than other words, which somebody just made up at some point too.
