Boeing 737-700 (N409WN) - This photo, taken eight hours ago, shows Southwests "Triple Crown One" (N409WN) as the pilots employ the various systems to slow it down after completing a 6:45 AM arrival on RTIAs runway 16R at the end of a flight from KLAS.  Even though it was so early in the morning, the sun was already blazing down upon the airport grounds.  A thin layer of smoke from wildfires burning in other parts of the west had settled in to the Truckee Meadows between the Virginia Range Mountains east of Reno and the Sierra Nevada west of Reno and that thin smoke layer somewhat diffused the brilliant direct sunlight enough for me to click a properly-lit photo series of "Triple Crown One" as it landed and taxied.

This photo, taken eight hours ago, shows Southwest's "Triple Crown One" (N409WN) as the pilots employ the various systems to slow it down after completing a 6:45 AM arrival on RTIA's runway 16R at the end of a flight from KLAS. Even though it was so early in the morning, the sun was already blazing down upon the airport grounds. A thin layer of smoke from wildfires burning in other parts of the west had settled in to the Truckee Meadows between the Virginia Range Mountains east of Reno and the Sierra Nevada west of Reno and that thin smoke layer somewhat diffused the brilliant direct sunlight enough for me to click a properly-lit photo series of "Triple Crown One" as it landed and taxied.

Nice shot, Gary! Do you know what the significance is of the red heart with the number 1 in it?

Howdy, Greg. TY for the comment. Regarding the livery ...
This is the second SWA fleetbird to wear the TC1 special paint. This special scheme was originally painted on N647SW about a decade ago (back in 1996 or 1997) as a tribute to Southwest's employees. Southwest Airlines had won US commercial aviation's "Triple Crown" (Fewest Customer Complaints, Best On-Time Service, and Best Baggage Handling) for several consecutive years so as a tribute to its employees, this livery was devised. The scheme was repainted on to N409WN a while ago.

Thanks, Gary. Now I get it. That is pretty cool.

If you are an FA member in the US, have an enjoyable ... and SAFE ... Fourth of July weekend. And if you are an FA member elsewhere, have an equally enjoyable ... and equally SAFE ... July weekend. I hope to see every one of you back here viewing the FA gallery on Tuesday. Til then, ... a friendly wave to all. :-)
