Yesterday, it looks like WN took on OKC pax (maybe the LAX-OKC or ABQ-OKC flight was cancelled) and flew the normal legs on 227, plus AMA-OKC for the OKC pax, and then OKC-AMA to reposition the aircraft.
But…
all legs are registered as B733/J except the AMA-OKC leg, for which FA says it was operated as a B727/J.
I find this to be an implausible equipment change. Is this likely a typo in the flight plan?
Gotta give credit to SWA’s maintenance dept. at KAMA. An 11 min. conversion from a 733 to a 721! That’s gotta be some kind of record, no? Boeing needs to hire these guys for the 787 line…
Dami, what happened to your eye for technicalities?! It is implausible, since all 3 a.c you mentioned were 722s, not 721s!! It may be Friday, but I have to keep you on your toes.
That’s true, plane. But you need to realize that due to the high humidity in AMA, the 727-200 shrank to a 727-100. Had it stayed much longer, it would have been the size of a Yak-40.
