Cute.

The 2 red stripes just ending there trigger me though lmao.

It’s supposed to represent the french polynesian flag so that’s why it cuts off weird

Aren’t they retired? I miss them so much.

yep sadge

Eh, still triggers me, lol.

Also, it doesn’t really make sense, since it doesn’t cut off at the beginning of the 2 stripes…

Eh, it really all starts with the B-29. From there, Boeing developed the B-50, and then from there the C-97 Stratofreighter. After that, it was developed into the KC-97, featuring the internal designation of Model 367. After the war, Boeing wanted to get into commercial aviation by introducing jets, and they decided to base their first proof-of-concept aircraft on the 367, making the 367-80. With airlines interested, Boeing went ahead and developed that into the 707. A couple years later, the basic design was refined into the Original 737. Jump over the Classic and NG Generations, arrive at the MAX, and the largest member, the MAX-10.

Yea why. It’s 737 MAX 8, not 737-MAX, that one doesn’t exist. :skull:
