SWA introduces Florida One!

Still much better than California one...

It looks great in person, the colors on the design are very contrasty, just there's a little too much white on the rear. I didn't like it too much at first sight but already grew on me lol...

Here's a shot I edited for my friend Ozell Stephens, that should have been at JP since about 1pm but thanks to the genius rule at JP (despite all the crap subjects and bad lit shots that site takes) apparently don't allow uploads over 1024 (file is 1080 pxls) if one hasn't yet proved the "skill necessary to upload over 1024" and don't have enough uploads yet. Despite sending the appeal message the photo doesn't even show up in his queue.

Not a big fan of the scheme, it's nice WN has given us something new but it seems incomplete and quickly put together and not thought out.

I believe it's based on the state flag of Florida. So, that's who designed it.

Haha, yea I know that but I mean who decided what it'd look like on the plane? I feel like someone could have used the state seal but still incorporated it into a good looking artsy piece...

Nice Matt!!!

JP appeal thing didn't work, my buddy didn't get email and photo never got in the queue. Just went ahead and resized it.. this time they took it within 5 seconds lol

Mark were you guys able to get any departing shots at FLL? There's usually a ton of people there, even with the sun already high. I tried getting a departure shot at KMCO (very difficult) and missed it by about a minute. MCO's perimeter is too huge, couldn't get to the spot in time.

On arrival, I ran to get closer to the runway but the heat, haze, nervousness :mrgreen: AND not having IS all killed me. At least is a plane I don't have to worry about again (darn Shamus, see it all the time but keeps evading me). Personally like that this scheme is artsy. Maryland one reminds me of a clown or Checkers fast food. California one's bear looks like it came out of a 1988 Nintendo game, or got electrocuted. Personally I'm just happy to see a plane I like these days.

Talk about overkill... here's mine! :lol:

I had to run back to the office before she left unfortunately otherwise I would have been there still when she left - I'm pretty sure that Matt's shot is a taxiing out shot - I would have loved to have got it at the end of the taxiway - another day maybe!

I still have to get Illinois One - the only one I haven't got darn it!!

Thought you'd catch it at PBI. Illinois is the other one I don't have. But never getting Shamu after so many years is too weird. If I was superstitious I'd say I was cursed!

Seen it on approach at FLL when I've been driving home - never seen it at PBI unfortunately.

SATURDAY APRIL 24TH SCHEDULE

Is there a way to track "Florida One" N945WN from a website besides Flightaware? Would love to know what cities it will be visiting in the next three weeks, thanks B77WYYZ

Alex T, good work for posting the schedule for those who want to catch it, thanks man.

It's just weird seeing so much white on a Southwest plane.

They could have done better personally though the tail looks alot better without the plane being all blue. It blended too much. Now if they wanted florida one they should have had that a beach with some girls on it :borat:
