I saw this plane fly into our airport today. Imagine Lord Baltimore’s face if he could have seen it.
That has been well done!
I took that plane earlier this year from Buffalo to Las Vegas. I believe it’s named Maryland One.
Love it!—but curious—on the other side of the plane, is the design the same or is the order of the quarterings reversed? (i.e. is if Calvert ot the fore & Crossland to the rear?)

Alas, no.’

For another heraldic or quasi-heraldic SW airplane, here’s New Mexico.

California One does rather worryingly look like a bear on a skeleton bob.

Southwest has long been our most "fun" airline!

Worringly? Rather "awesomely"! Throw some flames, some religious iconography, some cheesy ‘70s van art, and huge splashes of red ink, and that’s California!
Amen to Joseph S! It’s not that Californians aren’t capable of exercising subtlety, just that most (especially the younger—i.e. the prime audience for an airline like Southwest) don’t see any reason to.
Life’s short, start with the dessert!
While on my way to Orlando this week, I spotted our notorious plane in Buffalo.
(The wife and kids suggested they’d rather go to Disney World than Joe McMillan’s lecture in NYC. Sorry Joe.)
