Decided to try a different edit on this photo of a Southwest 737 MAX 8 flying overhead as seen from Tracy Airport. Main attributes of this high-key style of image is the white background and lack of shadows. Southwest operates 83 of these with 273 on backorder. In its history, Southwest Airlines has operated only Boeing 737 aircraft, except during the early 80’s when it leased a few Boeing 727-200s.  With 737 in their current fleet, Southwest is the largest operator of the Boeing 737 worldwide. The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the venerable Boeing 737 that first flew in 1967, and resumed flight operations in November 2020 after a 20 month long grounding following two crashes.
