Braniff International Uniform

Southwest original uniform.

Dallas has had it's share of Airlines based here when flying was FUN. Tom Braniff added color to the skies with colorful Braniff International planes. American has just been American but for a longer period of time.Then there is Southwest where 40 years of Luv continues on all four sides of Love Field and other cities were SW goes.

Today was Musuem Day to the affiliates of the Smithsonian. The crowds were orderly but festive and the new Southwest exhibit of aircraft tail number N300W was open. In June, the plane was just being positioned with its nose inside the Frontiers of Flight Museum (the rest of the Boeing 737 is outside the museum on the tarmac).

A Brief Note from Dallaspaparazzo

Hello blog followers.

The past two weeks has been uneventful as for as new post and new images go. However, following an ambulance ride,test and dignosis,surgery at the hands of my cardiologist now has me back on the recovery wheel. My strength has been a bit slow to return although the will to rebuild strength has been immediate.

The weather patterns has changed just as I start to get out a bit more and not be a total couch potato for the rest of the day. Hopefully, with the fall festivals and themes aproaching, bringing you urban life in pictures will once again be my joy.

Thanks for your patience. It means alot.
