RE: Question On the 747-100/737-100

There were only 30 or so 737-100’s made, to begin with, until they did a slight stretch, and thus begin making -200’s. LH originally oredered all the -100’s, I believe. The Phoenix Suns plane was used by the basketball team during the season, but provided regular passenger work during the offseason. I would assume that the seats would have to be reconfigured, accordingly. I used to see it at my hometown airport, ONT (Ontario, California, not Canada) regularly. As far as differences between 747-100 and 200 series, the 200 series had a considerable range improvement over the -100. The -100 only had a 5,000 and change mile range, whereas the -200 did 7,000+, if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong. As far as TWA goes, they dumped their 747’s long before 9/11 or even the AA takeover.
