oh my gosh how could I have forgotten - when I landed in Baltimore on my way home Tuesday morning - we were hitting our brakes when a plane passed us in the taxi area (he was getting ready to take off)

Southwest apparently has a new plane (well 2008 I think) Illinois One

I nearly killed myself to get to the camera but too late - so I just now searched and here it is:

I've seen their shamu and the basketball one - but that's the first I saw the eagle one ...... I jumped off the plane and ran to a set of windows but the plane had already lifted off so no photo from me :(

isn't it awesome - wonder how much $$$ so I could get one! don't know if it would fit in my driveway though.... :unsure: rofl

hmmmm wonder if they sell little ones!

look what else I found about the plane

Fun Facts:

Illinois One took 26 different people over 3 shifts for 6 days to paint.

It took 93 gallons of paint, including primer and 10 different colors to complete.

Ooh, Deb - it makes me want to fly somewhere just so I can be in it! That is so cool - they'd better be selling little replicas of it somewhere....

I saw the Southwest Eagle Plane in Burbank last year. Of course, it was pulled up to the terminal, not the best photo op! I've flown on the Shamu one, it was cool. Normally, I fly the ugly gold and orange one or the blue ones.

Loved that 'Eagle Has Landed' fast time video Deb :)^ It makes one appreciate how much work effort and paint goes into making one of these planes...I also didn't know they built them on an assembly line like Detroit automobiles either. Wonder what all the birdies think when they see this guy in the sky? :lol:
