- This is footage of a flight over the desert in Southwest's "Classic Livery". The tan color of the aircraft against the desert background is absolutely beautiful and really memorializes the Herb Kelleher era of Southwest. The livery that started it all. More specifically this particular aircraft is registered N714CB (the CB in memory of Colleen Barrett). The Classic livery was used until 2001 before switching to the better known Canyon Blue and Heart liveries. Enjoy the flight! Special thanks to Ryan Bomar who helped organize this flight.

Better than the two later liveries imho. Love it! I miss these aircraft dearly. I think we need a few more MAX retrojets like this in the canyon blue and desert colours.
Definitely agree. It’s the unique liveries like these keeping modern airliners interesting these days.
@@LoveJT8D Yep. I just wish they kept the black nose and white window outlines to keep this more "retro." This looks like a modern version of the desert gold livery and would be a good new livery. As much as I love it, it looks sort of empty without the black nose and white window outlines.
even though that was a short flight you had, still getting to ride on one of only 2 southwest 737-700's with that livery is a very special thing. Love the video!
Thanks! Yes, they don’t cycle through very often when it comes to hoping it makes a visit at your local airport.
Desert Gold
Yep! Wish they had a handful more in this color.
HOW COME THIS SOUTHWEST PLANE IS GOLDEN!?
This is a special retro livery. This is what Southwest Planes looked like back in the 80s and 90's.
It is the older version of the liveries, it was popular in the 70's through the 90's.
Amazing footage mate. Enjoyed the video :)
I am sorry for the late comments. Unfortunately youtube is not notifying me :(
Glad you enjoyed the video! No worries, hopefully these airplane videos live on for many years so you can drop by and watch whenever you like :)
What a cool ride mate. Enjoyed a lot!
Chilean Aviation Films Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I think the desert is so beautiful to fly over. So many types of mountain formations.
i was on that plane once from orlando to buffalo
Awesome! Lucky catch for you to get on this one.
I flew on this airframe once. I heard it’s retired and stored somewhere.
Nice! Glad you had a flight on this one. I’ll have to look up it’s status but indeed a shame if it’s retired. Hopefully will have a new life somewhere.
Always sad to leave Vegas
PotatoTheVeryFirst Usually bitter sweet to leave there haha.
Interestingly this is the only -700 still with the tan seats
That’s awesome. Goes with the exterior color nicely.
Nice
Ah, John Wayne
Colin D Nice little airport 👍
What if they make a max 8 in that livery?
PotatoTheVeryFirst I think that would be a great idea if it can get flying again.
@@LoveJT8D4 years later they did!
7:13 very rude!
Delta TV It comes across that way, but I think it was just some friendly blunt Southwest humor. There really isn’t much time to drink on the short Vegas flights from Socal. A handful of those passengers probably intend to slam and drink down anyway haha.
LoveJT8D Yes 😂. But sometimes it’s about a 35-50 minute flight, and that gives you to drink it normally until about 15 mins prior to landing or when they do the final pass.
Delta TV That’s true and most likely folks are naturally drinking at a slower pace when returning from Vegas 😉
