Apparently there are all sorts of interesting things in yesterday's photo; some of you have already sent in some great comments, including at least two who noticed the same thing I did. But for those who wanted a little hint, I cropped out some of the unnecessary details. So take a look at this one; How about now?

ETOPS on an SWA bird. That's a new one, all right.
ReplyDeleteThe Etops Rating??
ReplyDeleteETOPS Certified........Hawaii and Caribbean in the future?
ReplyDeleteThose are some curious letters there by the tail number...
ReplyDeleteETOPS. They're goin south, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was seeing things, but the nose doors say ETOPS 8303. SWA's other -800's that I've seen have the number first, ie 8301 ETOPS.
ReplyDeleteLooks like SW is going to be flying over oceans.
ReplyDeleteThe supposedly headless ramper?
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Nice catch - I didn't notice that!
DeleteETOPS on the nose gear door?
ReplyDeleteI see it's an -800 but I didn't notice the "ETOPS" designation before. Oh, and you seem to have started your own airline. :-)
ReplyDelete:D

ReplyDelete8303, like her sisters, is rated for overwater trips of such duration as to make for flights to HNL for SWA. I still think that the -800s look smashing in the SWA livery. Best 737 yet.
My guess is that ETOPS certifications are rare for Southwest planes.
ReplyDeleteETOPS? SWA will start overseas flights?
