Southwest Airlines New Bird

Post by Jumpshot724 »

Add another paint scheme to the list. Southwest Airlines proudly presents, "Illinois One"

http://www.southwest.com/about_swa/illinois1.html

Joins the list of:
Shamu 1, 2, and 3
Silver One
Triple Crown
Arizona One
California One
Nevada One
Lone Star One (Texas)
Slam Dunk One
New Mexico One
Silver One
Maryland One (My favorite lol)

My guess for the next one is "Utah One" :D

Watch the video that's on that page as well, pretty cool to see a 737 coming together on the line.

Maryland One is absolutely my fav too. The first time I ever saw Maryland One it was taking off directly over my head from San Diego Intl KSAN and I almost crashed my car gazing at it.

LOL, I'll have to let you know. Probably some beat up old -500 model with parts missing and paint wearing off. :lol:
