Southwest Airlines Dedication Ceremony Scheduled for June.

Driving past Love Field this morning following a doctor's visit there was something really big and really new at the North end of the Frontiers of Flight Museum.When I got to the traffic light ahead I turned onto the General Aviation roadway to the parking lot of the museum.As luck would have it the monthly meeting of the Airline Pilot Association of Love Field was underway (taking up a lot of parking spaces,too).After parking,workers were standing under the tail section. Inside the museum, one of the volunteers was being taped for a monitor presentation and the meeting was stlll going on upstairs. It was a great time to wonder the museum and see the new additions and to revisit some of the historic old ones (Apollo 7 capsule). As it turns out, Southwest Airlines ownes some of the earliest production numbers for the Boeing 737s.  The one being prepared for the museum will be one of those accourding to a couple more of the volunteers and one of the pilots that slipped out of the meeting early. So, next month, there will be a dedication ceremony and the exhibit will be formally open to the public. It's rather funny, in some ways in that only the nose of the 737 will be inside the musuem. However, the rest of the plane is outside! One will be able to enter the plane from inside the museum and then walk down the isle like any normal boarding. It's a novel way to draw attention and to utilize space all in one exhibit. Clever, indeed. Of course I should have know with Southwest part of the exhibit. To Herb and Gary: You guys are just plane (get it?) Fantastic. It might be a good time to bring back the old bumper sticker too! Remember that catchy littlel do-dad: "Fly Southwest,Herb needs the money!" I loved that bumper sticker! BTW..I also favored the old color scheme of the brown and orange rather than the blue and orange.It made it a more "down to earth" airlines.
