Boeing 737-300: The Best 737 Classic?

Today, we often call the 737 an "Air icon". This is mostly down to the success of the 737-300. If you flew on a 737 from the mid-1980's until the mid-2000's, chances are that you flew on the 737-300.
In fact, the 737-300 was so good, that it inspired the 737 Next Generation family, which in itself was instrumental for both Boeing and the 737!
