Illinois One is Back @ KPHX

[AviationFreak]

hello again, i’m back this time doing some evening/golden hour spotting which was fun

illinois one has returned back to the lineup and now i can say i’ve seen every state special livery swa has

anyway onto the pictures

---

illi close up as she started her taxi out bound for Indianapolis

---

Colorado One pulled up for a boop

---

a traditional A321 floats on by the mesa hangar

---

i still prefer this sun country livery over the new one

---

idk but i like this crop

---

milliseconds before disaster as this was the hardest max landing i’ve ever seen 😂

---

can’t have a proper spotting topic without Southwest

---

the brits and a beautifully lit Piestewa peak

---

pure eye candy

---

closing it off with a golden moody max

SWA for life!

British A350 looks very nice, kinda biased as a student who wants to fly for BA ahah 🤣

[United403]

A350K is my fav

[ZachmanIF]

As someone here who used to live in the valley, I LOVE these pics!!! Awesome photography as well!

[Jinco]

Beautiful shots!

yayyy, Illinois One is back! I can’t wait to never have it come to SNA, still waiting for the new TN1. But in all seriousness, it looks very nice. I think it fits the -800 better than TN1. Lovely shots btw. Those clouds with the BA are absolutely magnificent.

I definitely agree Illinois looks better on the -800 than TN1. TN1 looks too stretched. Glad you like the BA shot!

I would love to see Colorado One on an -800

[Hamzaviator]

The lump on top of the middle-back fuselage is for the internet right?

[AviationFreak]

i think it would look too stretched like TN1

[AviationFreak]

Yes! that is correct

[N908QD]

Glad to see Illinois One is back! It looks so good on the 800!

SWA is arguably the best airline.

[AviationFreak]

Southwest is the best airline

I remember tracking it on FR24 when it went to Victorville. I used to plane spot these livery’s exclusively when they flew out of Burbank cause I live on the takeoff route.
