Southwest Unveils “Independence One” to Mark America’s 250th Anniversary
Sporting a bold palette of red, white, and deep blue, Southwest Airlines has introduced a striking new commemorative aircraft to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary. The special livery, painted on a brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 8, carries the registration N1776R—a nod to 1776, the year the nation declared independence from Great Britain and established its original 13 states.
