We had to remove the reverser's on a 737-700 last last week. A naked engine with no cowls at all is not a view that is often seen, but it lets you have a good look at what is "under the bonnet". Quality is not so good, the pictures were taken with my phone.

The outboard reverser is, but the inboard is a bit of a bi#ch.
This is a 737-700. Not had the BBJ in yet, but when we do I will post. It only has seating for 6 or 8 pax Shocked

We all admire your work and I'm quite jealous that you get to work so close to these jets. Sad

Which airline is this then, looks like an interesting livery?

It is not an airline as such, but more private. The aircraft belongs to GasProm (Russian gas company). They have a fleet of four (Edit) 737's (and an assorted bunch of other aircraft Wiki) and they are used to transport company employees out to the gas fields in deepest former USSR territory.....Hence the strut seal replacement in my other post for (#&%§ing) cold weather ops.
