Southwest Airlines - Canyon Blue Retro | 737-MAX8

The "red-belly" paint scheme from 2001 now dedicated to Southwest's former President Colleen C. Barrett. The previous plane that once held the "Heroine of the Heart" sticker was a Boeing 737-7H4 registered as N266WN. That particular 737-7H4 had the Canyon Blue colors with that sticker while the newer Boeing 737-MAX8, registered as N872CB, had just been in service holding the same sticker. N266WN was soon repainted to the standard Heart livery in Spokane, Washington, leaving N872CB the only plane holding the "Heroine of the Heart" sticker. At the time of this livery being posted, only ten canyon blue 737-700s and two canyon blue 737-800s remain in Southwest's fleet, thus earning the name "retro".
