Southwest Airlines has introduced 'Independence One,' a Boeing 737 painted in red, white, and blue to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Unveiled on April 27, 2023, the aircraft features '1776' prominently on its front cabin and the phrase 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness' from the Declaration of Independence toward the back. It also showcases 13 stars representing the original colonies and elements of the Betsy Ross flag on its fuselage and engine cowling. Southwest President and CEO Bob Jordan expressed pride in honoring this milestone and the spirit of innovation that shaped the nation. The plane's inaugural flight is scheduled for April 29, 2023, from Dallas, Texas, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the year, 'Independence One' will participate in special events celebrating America's history alongside other themed aircraft, 'Freedom One' and 'Liberty One.'
