PICTURE: Boeing Rolls Out 10,000th 737
Boeing has rolled-out the aircraft that represents the 10,000th 737 assembled in the Seattle area since 1967 – a 737 Max 8 in Southwest Airlines livery. (www.flightglobal.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Early 737-100s & 200s were nick-named “Fat Alberts”. Rode many United & Piedmont birds in the 70s. Remembering the clam-shell reversers on the engines with many exhausts’ stains streaking the fuselages.
I remember another nick name as well: FLUF. Good taste, decorum, and propriety prevent me from saying what the acronym stands for!
SWA has probably operated at least 12% of the total fleet if we figure all the planes over the years. 200, 300, 500, 700, 800, 8 Max
One good thing (And probably the only good thing) I can say about them, they are supporting a US Company vs the Air Scuds!
I guess you like spirit better
Seeing how SWA has earned my bottom rank and I have heard a few better things about Spirit, I would say yes.. but only marginally...
