Southwest Airlines’ 737-700 “Missouri One” is about to touch down at SFO in front of a United 777-300. Since 1988, Southwest Airlines has used a variety of uniquely painted Boeing 737s to garner publicity from customers and aviation enthusiasts. One theme has been a variety of state flags, such as this 737 representing the state of Missouri. Named “Missouri One”, this flag livery was unveiled by Southwest in 2015. Southwest Airlines was the launch customer for the 737-700 back in December 1997, operating 375 of these in their fleet. First flown in 1994, the 777 is the world’s largest twinjet and utilizes the largest-diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft. United operates 22 777-300ERs in their current fleet.
