That is cool, does anyone know if they make a kit like this for any other 737 models?

There is no information to suggest that other 737s got the kit and there is no information on the vortex dissipators for the CFM engines.

As you can imagine, it is a high drag configuration.

This is as unique as the 727s in Mexico that had provisions for JATO bottles.

It probably looks like a Rorschach test up close, but step back a few feet and see the Inuit, the symbol of Alaskan Airlines.

Yes it does, I have never flown a 73 and don't know the purpose of that item. This aircraft now belongs to the Alaska Air Museum on beautiful Lake Hood.
