Not only that, 737-200 built in 1975 and reporting engine trouble.

It was a 737-200 first put into service in 1975.... Pretty sure this isn't a 737 design issue like the MAX. It's probably a maintenance problem, pilot error or ground crew error.

45 year old plane has reliability issues... not a big surprise.

I saw a Toyota in a bad wreck last week. These need to be taken off the road now!
