Does everybody know what today is?

47 years ago today, on June 18, 1971, Southwest began Boeing 737 service from Dallas Love Field to San Antonio and Houston Intercontinental (they didn't move to Hobby until six month later). Thanks to Herb, Colleen, Rollin King, Lamar Muse, and the Southwest People for getting this tiny airline started and growing it into the major airline that it is today!

 From the Texas Triangle triumph to the terrific transcontinental expansion to the inspiring international advancement - next stop Intergalatic Adventures! May SWA continue to fly high!

To every Employee from the beginning through today who has and who continues to add to the SWA Freedom Story - may your next trip around the sun bring you even greater success and happiness!
