If anyone was curious about the SOUTHWEST AIRLINES/MORRIS AIR livery supported by Peter´s 3 B733´s here ....MORRIS AIR started out as a Salt Lake City, USA, based charter operator which commenced operations during 1984 .... founded by David NEELEMAN whom also co-founded WESTJET and later JET BLUE AIRWyS. Charter flights were operated by SIERRA PACIFIC AIRLINES prior to 1992 .... and both RYAN AIR and SIERRA PACIFIC during 1992. MORRIS AIR obtained its own operating licence during December 1992 .... and commenced low fare scheduled operations from SAlt Lake City to several destinations throughout the western USA. The airline was sold to SOUTHWEST AIRLINES during December 1993 .... and officially became part of SOUTHWEST during late 1984. MORRIS AIR aircraft which were ingested into SIOUTHWEST initiall supported a hybrid livery compoed of basic MORRIS livery with SOUTHWEST titles .... as depicted by Peter .... in fact thos more observant of community/forum members among us may have spotted the SOUTHWEST AIRLINES liveried radome on "N692SW" (above) .... as has also been depiced by Peter. In airline history sometimes it´sthe hybrid identiies "such ass these" that are actually more "historic" than those of definitive major operators  Mark C BOG/CO

Don't forget AZUL for the Neeleman "empire" But yes that's the story.... there is one more SWA/Morris "hybrid" but its incredibly boring... it's white... barely visible ghosted titles but no Southwest titles no tail just white with reg... N672SW... not gonna bother with that one, it didn't last long anyways... then again N692SW didn't last long with the donor nose, maybe 3 weeks, but i figured it was an interesting enough one to represent  |
