March 16, 200323 yr Yes The military side of Boeing has alot of unusual aircraft, not only the f22 testbed the 757 (primarily for testing flight controls, cockpit arrangements and targeting radar) there is also a 767-200 laser testbed that has finished its testing, and there is a 737-200 avionics testbed. On the flight test side of the house there is a 737-900 that actually belongs to alaska airlines and is in the process of being refurbished for them now, it was used as cockpit technology demonstrator to test upcomming options for the 737NG. There is another NG-900 in the works that will actually have 3 cockpits contained within the fuselage to demonstrate new technologys, and then there is the 737 wegetail that should startup in a couple months( a mini awacs initially for Australia).
March 17, 200323 yr Yeah, N757A was the first 5 off the line, the only first production Boeing of any model not to be delivered to an airline eventually.Ryan
