The Boeing 737-100 is the standard short-body version of the “classic” 737 family. Lufthansa is the first foreign airline to launch a new Boeing plane. Lufthansa was the only customer to purchase the 737-100 from new and only 30 aircraft were ever produced. The short and stubby appearance of the first 737-100 earned it the nickname among Boeing engineers as “FLUF”, being an acronym for “Fat Little Ugly Fella” (or whatever), although the industry affectionately called it the “Baby Boeing”.
