The Piedmont 737 FLUFs


What's a FLUF? Is it similar to a FLIB (the term of endearment used by
ATC when describing small GA aircraft)?

The original 737s were short and sorta plump for their length. They always
reminded me of an overweight Me-262.

Anyway, they got dubbed Fat Little Ugly F*ers when the stretched versions came
