525 active. Wow, that surprised me! I expected more of these old dependable war horses to be in six pack form.

Welcome! One hint to working with planemad.net. The way the database is constructed, the same frame will appear sometimes with more than one line item, for a variety of reasons I've not fully understood, so to get an accurate quick count, choose "Show Last Operator Only."
With that option checked, the active 737-200 frames drops to 252.

thanks! Hey, what's the difference between written off and scrapped? For there are 70 737-200 airframes that are "written off" with 50 scrapped... am I getting double frames? (I took your "last operator" hint.)
252 active is more reasonable. (Still higher than I expected considering how WN, AW, and others are removing any JT8D-non 2xx out of their fleet. Wait, I couldn't find a DC-9 option! Maybe that's for the better.

If you click on the "cn" number for a particular plane, it will give you the history and disposition of the particular airframe.
Written off means that while it was active in a fleet, it either crashed or experienced damage that was too expensive to repair to return it to service.
Scrapped is used when the plane is intentionally broken up after being retired.
At the bottom of the page I linked, they show which aircraft are in their database. They don't track DC-9's (except for the -80 and -90 series), nor the 707, 727, among others.
