Great report Bel! Southwest is the airline you had a hard time recognizing!  |

Doesn't look like a southwest plane... at all... nor is it parked at terminal A where the others are. this one was on the end of Term C, which is where the smaller airlines like USA 3000 park.
There was no writing at all on this plane... just white and orange. _________________

| yes but if you look at a southwest plane next to it it would except for the white. Honestly look at a southwest plane and look at this one and tell me you dont see a difference. Only difference I see is no blue. |

That is why i think it was a private plane. Nothing adds up. If it were a special southwest livery it would have been parked at gates A1-3 and I would not have seen it. I got a closer look at it when it was coming in, but did not take a pic till I was on the 321. It was leaving when we were too... it was only there about 15-20 minutes... not enough time for a full turnaround in my opinion were it a regular commercial airline. _________________

Original Taken by Bell
That is Hooters Air, I saw a lot of this airline before they went bankrupt out at Greater Rockford. Compare the Lines on his shot to the lines on this shot. The same, just missing the HOOTERS and the owl.
Case Closed

Yeah looks possible to me... so someone must have bought it out for their own private use then. _________________
