Southwest has started adding satellite internet to some of its aircraft, an area in which they've been lacking compared to some of their competitors like Jet Blue and Virgin America; that's not where I'm going with this puzzle, though . . .
Good eye, but this is not really new for the -800; Southwest started painting the flap track fairings orange with the -700s, which like the -800, have a longer wingspan than the older models.

Only thing out of the 'ordinary' I can see is that the gate power is inop and a gpu is supplying power.

Thing that stood out to me is the lack of ground crew. Looks like a scene from The Langoliers.
ReplyDeleteWow, it does. Spooky!
