Independence One
 
You guys killed it; absolutely epic livery.

Our 250 livery at AAL was a huge letdown.

It is a pretty plane for sure. I have only seen pictures, so I can only imagine it looks twice as good in person.

Southwest has a lot of good ideas. Just think where they would be today ,if someone did not hold them back for 17 years of doing nothing.

It wasn’t “nothing.” Those endless billions in buybacks really fueled the company.

It really is a good-looking jet. That they have also added a clone of Freedom One (i.e. Liberty One) to the fleet is also a curious development. Me thinks if these three aircraft are not doing a low, tight 3-ship over the Washington Mall on July 4th...well...it would be a huge missed opportunity!

It would be the lamest flyby.

Saw Liberty One in Portland the other day. Looks great.

Freedom 1 is going into heavy check and is being sold/lease returned. The Liberty paint job is replacing it in the fleet.
