As I'm taking this picture, you can see that they are in the middle of whiting out the Tower Air titles on the fuselage. Sorry for the poor quality, I was quite a distance awayJul 25, 2012

SOUTHWEST_737-700_N711HK_LAS_0207_JP_small.jpg
SOUTHWEST_737-700_N711HK_LAS_0207_JP_small.jpgThis 737 is specially registered -HK for Herb Kelleher, now retired chairman of Southwest who was extremely successful and popular. While it's a bit hard to see from the angle I shot the airplane, the paint scheme on this 737 is different than other Southwest 737s as this one is much darker/shinier in order to reflect its significance to the company (not to mention that it's a retrojet as this was the company's old livery for many years until it was replaced with the current blue and red livery)Jun 24, 2012
