I work on the ramp for swa and love everything about what I do and the company. Been with swa for 12 going on 13 years. Thanks for the video. RIP Herb.
Nice a heart brown refresh would be cool. Instead of Blue red and Yellow it will be Brown Red and Orange with black titles and a heart in the middle of the fuselage with all brown seats.
GREAT video Ryan ! Like everyone, this sure brings back memories. I'm taking your suggestion and finding out were upcoming routs are. I've always wanted to ride a DC-9 and B-707 again too. I became a pilot, because of the intrigue, riding those nice old aircraft. And thanks for showing the cockpit. While watching, I kept wondering if much of the original avionics and equipment remained. Thanks for sharing !
Used to fly this all the time from BWI to Kansas City MO when I was a kid. I almost forgot about seeing that smoke come out of the engines and asking my dad what it was everytime. I still don't know to this day lol
Excellent work! It is amazing to me the number of airports- KLGB KBUR KLAX KVNY and KSNA- within such close proximity and the amount of maneuvering needed to navigate the complex airspace of southern California. Bob Hope is a particularly charming airport. I was also impressed with the pictures of Edwards AFB in your video; I did not know they were allowed to fly so close to this sensitive installation. The view of the "Strip" on approach as well as the pictures of the "Janet" terminal was interesting too! Thanks again for this featurette! I am subscribed!
Your comment is insanely awesome, thank you so much! You really pay attention, instead of skipping ahead like almost everybody else. Thanks so much for subscribing!
The video that I put up prior to this one was a flight on N711HK, the other retro. I titled this video a flight on the 'only other' retro, referring to N714CB. Sorry about any confusion.
There still some of the Old School Classic Gold Southwest 737 planes ✈️ I miss them also the last 2 Gold Southwest I flew on I was in High School & then college at the time 1997 & 2002 that was the last Damn Good Memories 😎 🇺🇸👍🏽
I was living in Ft. Worth, TX when Southwest first took to the air. The original route was Dallas to Houston. $19.00. This was the original livery of those early generation 737s.
I got sick of the livery too. For me it was because the color faded badly and after a while the yellow/gold with the red started looking like carnival colors.
This is a very rare to fly on retro livery B737-700. You are lucky to fly on this plane. I can’t wait to fly on MAX aircraft in April if not sold out lol
Nice video, we call that airplane "Colleen's airplane" The CB in N714CB are for Colleen Barrett. The HK in our other "Classic" Are Herb's initials, so that one we call "Herb's Airplane"
Great video!! I've flown the SWA Classic livery (N711HK) From Sacramento SMF, To Seattle SEA! This happened in June 2013. I Just wanted to tell you :D Sadly, it's not on UA-cam. Eh, who cares lol :p
Miss this unique paint scheme. Although it would have been awesome to retro fit the interior in the brown leather scheme they used. Better yet, retro fit interior to its original decor with orange bulkheads and colorful seats. Miss those lounges too.
So'west 427, cleared to Las Vegas McCarran via the Van Nuys 7 departure, TWINE transition, Palmdale, Dagget, then as filed, climb to 4,000, expect FL230 10 minutes after departure, departure frequency is 124.2, Squawk 4272, advise ready for taxi.
The plane is painted in classic livery on the exterior but there is nothing unique inside. jetBlue's themed planes have unique characteristics on the inside. Above All jetBlue!
I made that clear. I had just put up a video of flight on N711HK right before this video went out, so I labelled this video "Southwest's Only Other 'Classic Retro Livery".
Only? Get your facts straight. there are 3 with the classic Livery paint job not one. If any one want to guest why there 3 of theses painted with the old colors, please put your guest down below..
I appreciate your comment, but you are wrong. There WERE three, one was since painted into the Heart Livery. Only 711 & 714 are currently in this livery. The previous weekend, I uploaded a flight on the other retro, 711...now since I uploaded a flight on 714, I said 'the only other Classic Retro Livery', which is absolutely true.
792 was the repainted aircraft, you can verify that by the pics on Airliners.net here: www.airliners.net/search?keywords=N792SW&sortBy=dateAccepted&sortOrder=desc&perPage=36&display=detail
Desert Gold back in my days of flying Southwest from Little Rock to Dallas Love Field back in 1988 🧡💙💛
This is one of my favorite SW Livery it's cool to see it make a comeback
I work on the ramp for swa and love everything about what I do and the company. Been with swa for 12 going on 13 years. Thanks for the video. RIP Herb.
Nice looking plane! I never cared for this livery when it was current, but I think it's beautiful now. Gotta love BUR, too. Great video!
Ryan Kenyon couldn't agree more, really starting to appreciate it now
What about a heart livery with the brown?
Nice a heart brown refresh would be cool. Instead of Blue red and Yellow it will be Brown Red and Orange with black titles and a heart in the middle of the fuselage with all brown seats.
Ryan Kenyon I always thought those planes were very different

Comments like yours make this world a better place! Thank you so much, Randy!
Thank you for taking us along Ryan :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) Have a great weekend :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Hope you're doing well! Great hearing from you.

Wow!! That livery brings back so many memories! Awesome video
Awesome video! I've seen those before! I was on N792SW! After it was repainted, that is.
Great Video Mate. Your very lucky to fly on this livery. I hope you enjoyed your flight :)
I truly did, thank you!
Big Thanks for taking us along. Another stellar video. And that DL MD-90 at the end was the icing on the cake.
PacificBlue51 that's a 717
It is. Thanks.
Wow, that was a really short distance the aircraft needed before taxiing after landing!
Wow, amazing video, Ryan. Congrats and hugs from Brazil.
Thanks so much, buddy! Always the nicest comment, thank you so much!
What great views you had. Wow.
Great video, we actually have 2 classic livery in our fleet.
The video that I put up prior to this one was a flight on N711HK, the other retro. I titled this video a flight on the 'only other' retro, referring to N714CB. Sorry about any confusion.
RyanBomar it's all good bro!

So cool I didn’t know they even still had that lol liked:-)
Yeah, it's a trip seeing it now. Thanks for watching!
I was living in Ft. Worth, TX when Southwest first took to the air. The original route was Dallas to Houston. $19.00. This was the original livery of those early generation 737s.
When this was their livery, I got sooooo sick of it. Now I love seeing it because it's special.
Man, I miss those -200's!
I got sick of the livery too. For me it was because the color faded badly and after a while the yellow/gold with the red started looking like carnival colors.

Oh, how I love SOUTHWEST AIRLINES, THEIR FLIGHT CREWS, and their ALL BOEING 737 FLEET!!!
They are an awesome airline!
great video...it was almost as if i was actually on the plane...what camera did you use??
Thank you for watching! I use a Sony HDR-CX675.
Nice video, we call that airplane "Colleen's airplane" The CB in N714CB are for Colleen Barrett. The HK in our other "Classic" Are Herb's initials, so that one we call "Herb's Airplane"
I love those two planes so much! I hope to see them around for a while.
N711HK !❤ and my uncle loaded it 2 weeks ago coz he works for southwest at tpa as a ramp officier.
Nuthin beats a Fun Fare on Southwest Airlines! Like they said in the day, “just say when”.
Aw man they should have kept the old interior too! Those interiors were the best
oh my God I have flown on this jet several times between Houston Hobby to Dallas Love Field years ago
Strobes? Off.
APU? On.
Cleanup (flaps and slats)? Check.I mean uh, in-work.
After landing checklist complete.
Great video!! I've flown the SWA Classic livery (N711HK) From Sacramento SMF, To Seattle SEA! This happened in June 2013. I Just wanted to tell you :D Sadly, it's not on UA-cam. Eh, who cares lol :p
At least you got to experience, that's all that matters.
Miss this unique paint scheme. Although it would have been awesome to retro fit the interior in the brown leather scheme they used. Better yet, retro fit interior to its original decor with orange bulkheads and colorful seats. Miss those lounges too.
I saw one of these birds at ATL a while back. Dont know which tail but I know it was a classic livery
Those 2 planes sure do stand out on a sea of blue.
Good one,thanks Ryan.
Very Nice! Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks for watching, Greg!
Very cool video!
My uncle works in Tampa for southwest airlines as a ramp officier for now 15 years
my childhood ride to San Diego Lindbergh field
How cool, I love SAN!
I'm surprised so many southwest planes have onboard internet from what I can see from the exterior.
I think the entire fleet does now that the -300's are retired.
I flew on N711HK a couple months ago.
Too cool! It's a pretty special aircraft.
Exelente Vídeo Muito Bom
Nice
I have seen a lot of those planes
At LGA and ATL
So'west 427, cleared to Las Vegas McCarran via the Van Nuys 7 departure, TWINE transition, Palmdale, Dagget, then as filed, climb to 4,000, expect FL230 10 minutes after departure, departure frequency is 124.2, Squawk 4272, advise ready for taxi.
Why can't United do this with one of their 787s and paint it with the battleship livery?? It would be incredible to see.
Yeah, I'd love to see more participation from carriers. Celebrating their past is a beautiful thing.
yes I realized it was a 300 after I made the comment
where did you take this video it's most beautiful
This flight was between Burbank, CA & Las Vegas, NV, in the United States.
Michael Chamberlain I
I'd love to see a MAX painted in this livery!
ikolkyo
Nope.
Go 25 years earlier
is that 737 still flying today or has it been retired
Still flying, this was shot recently. Two in the fleet were being kept in this livery.
Did this plane have the new seats? I see the heart on the bulkhead
I'm not an expert on this, but I believe they were the old style.
RyanBomar were they tan or all blue seats
The plane is painted in classic livery on the exterior but there is nothing unique inside. jetBlue's themed planes have unique characteristics on the inside. Above All jetBlue!
The interesting thing is the outside livery. Coz there's only 2 planes like this
N714CB (dat one)
N711HK (anoda one)
N714CB
you had a female pilot flying with you...that's rare indeed!
one of their first Boeing 737-300s
Michael Chamberlain This is a 737-700. The biggest clue is the WiFi blister on the upper, rear fuselage. None of the WN -300s had WiFi.
Its not the only one. N711HK
I made that clear. I had just put up a video of flight on N711HK right before this video went out, so I labelled this video "Southwest's Only Other 'Classic Retro Livery".
@@RyanBomar Oooooooh, I understand now 😊 Nice vid.
@@RyanBomar damn I'm sick. Fortunately I live in france very veeeeeery far away from you so you won't be sick FROM ME. Thx
I appreciate the comment either way. I hope you feel better soon, buddy.
@@RyanBomar thx.
I mean a 700
I had a pizza de-livery
