		The airframe was retired recently and is being replaced by Boeing’s C-40 (767) Clipper.
		The aircraft will be from VR-59 and VR-58 until the Conquistadors take ownership of their very own Clippers in October, which will be housed in a brand new hanger currently being built on NASNI.
		Although the squadron will be gaining a more advanced and capable aircraft, Hartmann said that the one thing that will not change is the work ethic and the hard charging attitude from the Sailors that serve their country at VR-57.

		However, with the 737's basic design now approaching 40 years old, and with the fuselage having already been stretched to its absolute limit, it is clear that further updates will follow the law of diminishing return.
		Boeing has already hinted that a clean sheet replacement for the 737 will be the company's next major project after the 787, although it is still unclear if the existing 737 will receive yet one more facelift in the next 7 to 10 years.
