The 737-800 is the 738. The 737 MAX 8, ICAO B38M, was rebranded officially to the 737-8 or alternately the 737-8 MAX after the crashes. Boeing now refers to it by all three of those names interchangeably.

You look at those that have it in Europe they have B737-8 the Max part was dropped.

Similar how their no B777X aircraft that’s just the family aircraft.

No I meant it sounds like the -800

Yeah it’s ambiguous, but I think that’s exactly what Boeing wanted. They needed a way to drop the max identifier but not harm the NGs reputation

Looking a whole lot better than the 100 years livery. They should’ve used this as a base!

I dunno, I love the modern look. There’ll always be two groups, one that likes retro and one that likes contemporary, and at least they are making liveries for both.

Why did you delete the post?

It was outdated, I didn’t see the date it was posted so I deleted it, I need to look at things more :sweat_smile:
