The 737-200 model showcased here depicts a mid-sized, narrow-body jet once renowned for serving inter-island routes. Aloha Airlines was well-known for connecting the Hawaiian Islands, so this repaint reflects the carrier’s older coloring, complete with detailed logo placements and era-appropriate paint accents.
