  I worked @Air Zimbabawe, and i say the reason its still flying because the engineering team there is second to none. you can ask around.

  These planes were made back in the day when Boeing was still honest and proud, and its company execs were less greedy. The fact that they are still in the air is a testament to what Boeing once was.

  I am an airline engineer, <br>It’s possible to keep airplane airworthy for long time complying to scheduled ,unscheduled maintenances, Airworthiness directives, and Service bulletins.<br>The spare part can be found by sourcing from suppliers, most of the parts are still available with long lead time.<br><br>This particular Airplane kept in good condition.<br>I am proud of their maintenance department.❤

  This is one of Josh&apos;s best videos, if not THE best. The flight crew were awesome and a credit to Air Zimbabwe, as well as the nation itself with their genuine happiness and helpfulness. My family lived in Africa for a few years and it&apos;s definitely a place that gets into you. It&apos;s amazing. Hope to return one day. Well done, Josh!

  As a Zimbabwean who used to fly from Bulawayo to Harare regularly and I flew many times on that very plane! - I have to say this video has made me very nostalgic. &nbsp;That is not an embarrassment to the country - that is a piece of aviation heritage! &nbsp;Thanks for the memories @joshCahill

  Zimbabwe&apos;s Boeing 737-200 is nicknamed &quot;Mbuya Nehanda,&quot; a spirit medium icon of Zimbabwe. What a beauty. This plane is a legend, and if there are any aviation awards, please nominate Air Zimbabwe for the best maintenance award.
