Title: New SWA Plane
Post by: chinois3legged on April 24, 2008, 12:57:11 AM
Great Video of the new SWA "Illinois One" being made. Pretty lame music though

This brand new Boeing 737-700 unveiled today at Chicago Midway Airport features a rendering of the Illinois state flag and required 26 people at the Boeing Company working three shifts over the course of six days to paint.  More than 93 gallons of paint and 10 different colors make up Illinois One. Check out the aircraft being built and painted in this video:

And at KSJC (San Jose) she looked just like this!

I was walking into the jet center on Sunday 5-12 as she took the runway for departure. I quickly grabbed my camera!

ahh yes of course!!   how dare i forget the "THE"     It is The Ohio State University!!  yet when we get the top high school football recruit in the nation, calls it,  "The University of Ohio State"      made me mad!!!  (Just to add a side note).

But someone send something to Southwest, tell them to make an "Ohio One" and to pimp it out with Buckeye stuff!!!

I'm sure SvO would be proud if WN had an Ohio paint job.  Hopefully you know who I refer to, if you know OSUs aviation program and Southwest.

I guess America West has (had?) the ohio B757 which didn't look too bad.
