It was one of the most anticipated introductions of the entire year. N871HK, Southwest’s brand-new Boeing 737-8 Max featuring the companies first livery. “The Herbert D. Kelleher” as it is appropriately named took tot he skies with revenue passengers onboard for the fist time on November 16th, and on November 17th, I would be there to take it’s fourth revenue flight. The first of its revenue flights to take place in complete daylight. Now, you can join me on Southwest flight 352 with service from Houston, Texas (HOU) to Santa Ana, California (SNA). An appropriate flight to be documented in 4K as it progressed directly over the deserts of the United States. The same deserts that the livery it wears was inspired by. Herb One as it will be called no doubt, is flying again! Enjoy!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to see a Canyon Blue on a Max someday, super cool airplane. Great content as always, probably the best inflight vids on RUclips these days!
The 737 8 Max is now over the Pacific ocean heading to Hawaii Sunday 115p
Central. #Flghtradar24
This is my favorite southwest livery glad it lives on!
I wonder we’re the 737 700 that had livery did it retire or been scrapped
@@camileshakakeesic4421 It was retired. They actually had two in this livery Both were retired, and I assumed scrapped, but I don't know that for sure.
What a classic livery that screams Southwest! I wish they had more planes in this livery. Not many plans have that Golden scheme, it really stands out and you know what airline it is automatically.
I wish this was still their current livery. Thanks for watching my friend!
when i see a 737 max, i just wanna clamp the winglets together 😂
Many people probably disagree with me, but I think this is currently the most beautiful aircraft in the world. I literally squealed and beamed at my monitor when it came into frame. It's so incredible seeing that iconic, STUNNING livery on a brand spanking new beautiful MAX. It makes me so happy seeing it in video -- idk how I will handle myself the first time I see it in person. So thrilled u got to ride it so soon (and upload again :]).
Well, I won't be one of the ones disagreeing with you haha. Thanks again my friend!
I disagree. It’s definitely beautiful but the 777x? Or the airbus a350?
I think so too this one and delta airline.
I won't also disagree which you because I also like the 737 :)
It is one of the best
Can we just take a second to appreciate that he literally stayed like another hour to watch it pushback and get that *gorgeous* shot at 3:39:26 ... definitely top 5 videos of yours imo. So good. :)
Thanks my friend!
I agree thanks ..the gate footage at SNA was the highlight of the video for me! Brings back memories of flying on SWA in the 80s/90s.
X2 It was nice getting to see her for a few extra minutes.
The dedication!
I actually saw this aircraft takeoff from Renton when it was finished with all of its testing and headed out for delivery to southwest. So glad I had the privilege to witness that.
also I believe that they are going to paint the canyon blue livery on one of the MAX -8 aircraft as well!
You're correct. In fact, it was delivered a couple days ago, and it's currently operating it's 3rd revenue flight as I type this.
I am so glad they brought this livery back and put in on a max 8 in honor of Herb Kelleher. It looks amazing.
Herb would be proud.
That gold livery is so gorgeous and elegant. Why would they make it blue and red like that boggles the mind!
This is definitely my favorite Southwest livery. At least it lives on as a retro. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 me too! Definitely my favorite livery! And you're welcome! I watch every one of your vids haha
Great to see the desert bird Max. Looks amazing!! Best retro livery hand down.
I agree! Best retro out there. Thanks for watching my friend!
Southwest's original livery, often called the “Desert Gold” or “Mustard Rocket” livery takes me back to my childhood on the 737- 200s & 3s, 400s. So many great flying memories. Southwest is such a fun airline & I love all their liveries & this video.
That's great!!! The original delivery with Mr. Kelleher name.
I used to fly out of John Wayne airport all the time when I was a kid back in the early 2000’s. I swear I would see the 7H4 gold livery there all the time just wishing that was the plane I was going to fly on. The end of this video definitely hit home for me because I remember how excited I would get! Also so cool New Mexico One was next to it too! Just wished southwest would fly direct there from JWA!
I like the engine sound when it start up
What a smooth landing! Such a beautiful plane!
Thanks for watching my friend!
Me clenching my butt cheeks when that trainee was pushing it back at the end. Dude was cutting it close to the jack knife point lol. Don’t need this going out of service after a month
How Cool😎Listing To Those Two CFM LEAP-1B Turbofan Engines Staring Up
Aaaaaand he's back! Thanks for the extra time you took on this one.
It’s always my pleasure my friend!
Sat in the very back left window seat. It was a pretty good experience for not flying in like 5 years but this was very cool!
That's one of the smoothest landings I've EVER seen into SNA with it's super-short runway. Kudos to the pilots ◡̈
SWA has by far the best of the best pilots & I've never had a bad landing, the only airline I ever fly!!!!
The old retro livery on it looks so awesome on the 737 max 8 I wish they could put the canyon blue livery on it and some other special livery’s.
Well I've got some good news for you... Look up N872CB on FlightRadar.
She’s flying! N872CB!
Now THAT was awesome! N871HK looks great! Nice flight video dude! 😁👍✈️
Thanks my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Been waiting for this one. Favorite Southwest livery!
Me too my friend! Enjoy it!
How is it that Southwest Desert Gold Livery featured on Unmatched Air Traffic Control this Livery is , has and always will be Southwest it's gotta be on the game 🧡❤️💛
The Herbert D. Kelleher. Nice.
Awesome once again!
Thanks my friend!
I like the original colors
Me too. It’s my favorite Southwest livery.
Incredible view of the mountains by Sedona, Arizona at around 2:39:00. Wow! Colorado River at 2:56:00.
That Classic retro on the MAX is sick! I caught her the next day coming into KAUS from Tampa!
Such a beautiful bird
Indeed! Thanks for watching my friend!
Beautiful plane!
Beautiful indeed. Thanks for watching my friend!
Great catch! Herb's new airplane looks fabulous.
Nice video man! that plane is so cool
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The pretzel trail on your Southwest flight are the new Love Bites 🥨
Wow, the Retro Desert Gold livery on a modern 737 MAX! Now that's what you call, #1970smeetsthe2020s!
The livery is awesome on this one
Wow, the colors are beautiful! 🤩🤩🤩
They are my favorite Southwest colors. And it's great that they're flying again. Thanks for watching my friend!
Great video, magnificent livery, beautiful airplane! The flagship!
WOW!...what a absolute honor it must be to be able to fly on this 737-8 MAX with brand new livery-"The Herbert D. Kelleher" (great name too) love the new color lay-out too,i bet you can still smell the freshness of the inside cabin like it's straight out of the aircraft factory!.As alway's it's another 10/10 rating from me re your flight reviews,awesome work dude!👍
Thanks my friend! It definitely had that new plane smell haha.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@sla31 I miss that old livery. Grew up in the 80s and 90s riding these liveries as a little kid. Always though it was the coolest then and glad to see it on a Max 8 now.
Flyin Out were the. PRETTY PALMTREES BLOW , HAPPY 2024 🎉
Great job 👍✈️
Thanks my find! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Im shocked you posted this 2 days after your flight! Awesome footage brother!
It was a lot of work over the last 3 days to make this happen.
Click in your seatbelt, tray tables up, seat upright and carry-on luggage away from the isle for touchdown ✈️
I would love to fly this and play my vaporwave tracks while in the air 😎
Basically what I always do when I fly, but this doubles down on the retro.
My new favorite livery of the whole fillet! What a lovely bird and a crowd pleaser (visually). That fight must have been a great one!
It was a perfect flight! And I agree. It’s now my favorite active Southwest livery!
Aviator Alex!???
@@Coloradoplanes Hey
Did you know that you would be on a special livery?
Yes, I took this last minute trip specifically to try to intercept this aircraft. So, if the plane changed, I wasn't going to take the flight.
Amazing
Thanks for watching my friend!
Beautiful plane, nice views, and as always greatly appreciated!
My pleasure my friend! Thanks for watching!

Amazing content as usual and this is why YOU'RE THE GOAT of the aviation community.
Hey my friend! That's awesome! I really appreciate it. So, RUclips makes it really difficult for me to actually communicate with my members. You'd think they'd want that to be something that was easy to do, but apparently a private messaging system is too much to ask for. So, to get the monthly travel updates I have to send those out via email. So if you want to receive those monthly updates (which ironically this month has been the only month in years where I didn't send one out haha) I have to have an email address to send them too. Don't worry, I don't expect you to post your email address on here for everyone in the world to see. If you want to get those updates simply send an email to me at bryce.rea.sla31@gmail.com and I'll add you to the list!
@@sla31 I sent you an email. 😊
The Desert Gold!!!
Stunning aircraft. It’s lovely to see the old “Desert Gold” livery resurrected in such a shiny way and put on the most modern 737 flying today
It looks class on those split scimitar winglets too
This is my favorite Southwest livery, so I too am glad it's back. It's a little different than the original livery. They'd didn't paint the flap track fairings red, and the windows on the original had while outlines. I suspect they didn't do that on this version to help it be easier to maintain. Still a great tribute. Thanks for watching!
@@sla31
Yep, you are right!
Although I remember on the 737-300s the flap track fairings were painted white/grey with the old desert gold livery (red on the 700s) so it’s not totally different!
Welcome aboard Southwest Desert Gold ( Herbert Kellaher One ) 💛❤️🧡
The plane looked beautiful pulling up to the gate.
A gorgeous airplane, for sure. Thanks for watching!
it feels good working on this aircraft yesterday at HNL ..
These flight sim graphics are so good!
Crazy right!? This 2022 Real Life Simulator is awesome. Way better than the 2020 version which had a major virus…
How do you figure out what specific aircraft and what livery it may be if so?
By following a bunch of aviation and spotter pages on Facebook and Instagram haha. There's no set place that I know of that details upcoming special aircraft deliveries. You just kind of hear about it when you follow a bunch of aviation pages.
I flew on the plane that last had this livery, N711HK. They retired that plane, but it’s still intact.
I wish they were all this gold color its flashy!😊
You and me both my friend! This is my favorite Southwest livery.
Very good 👍
Thanks my friend!
My pleasure 😇
Skylite Productions can you please try to intercept Illinois one and Tennessee One? And when the Canyon Blue Livery MAX8 comes out intercept that too?
I can sure try, but it is quite expensive to chase special liveries last minute 😬. This was certainly a special case.
I've flown on Missouri One twice just out of sheer chance.
Tail number 871HK..that is the starting date I think for Southwest 8/71. and of course HK for Herb Kelleher. Nice tribute for Herb.
You are correct. Their first flight was June 18, 1971. And of course you’re right about Herb. Thanks for watching my friend!
Just like a vanity license plate, N871HK is this 737s registration after Mr. Kelleher. Very classy thing SWA has done here along with the retro livery.
Also, the 871 is significant too. Southwest's first flight was on June 18, 1971. 871. As you said, very classy and cool what they were able to do with this livery as a whole. Thank for watching my friend!
@@sla31 Didn't know that. Thnx again.
I live under the flight path of 7 different airports. I see the planes going to sna all day long.
Absolutely beautifully captured lovely content vloggs .. and as always you doing an excellent great job. .. TQSM from Mtl Cdn..
Thanks my friend! As always, I'm glad to hear when you enjoy the videos!
Nice I heard they are painting the canyon blue livery on a max too
They are, or should I say they have. It's already painted and is nearing delivery. You can find pictures of it online already.
Wow is Houston Hobby Airport way on the other side of the world 🌎
Wow such and old plane of the Southwest Airlines I’m flying g with them today so I hope to ride one of those like the one your in rn
An old livery, but a brand new plane. Only 3 days old. There’s only one of them in this livery so best of luck getting it 😁.
Wow that’s so cool .
So this must mean that this plane is rare than?
@@itsbloxy3 Yes, Southeast currently has 110 737-8 Max aircraft and this is the only one painted in this special livery.
Love how you got to fly on HDK so early! Awesome!
I had been following it closely! I don’t typically chase special liveries like this, but I made an exception for this one.
Only easy way to fly on that exact livery is the flight tracker app that could be my chance to finally fly aboard that plane since the 2000’s
Unfortunately, that's the case most of the time. I've been trying to intercept Freedom One for 2 years now haha.
Gorgeous aircraft! I enjoyed the quality if the video. I do not think this is the true original livery, but the gold was beautiful. I definitely prefer this over the last two new blues!
Thanks my friend. You're right. It's not a true "100% accurate." It's been modified slightly to help it be easier to maintain. It's missing the white outlines around the windows and the black anti-glare shield on the nose. But, still a great tribute.
I love these golden planes they have they're really cool I wish to fly one someday
These is only this plane now. The 3 Boeing 737-700's that Southwest used to have in the livery have all been retired. N871HK is now the lone aircraft to wear the iconic livery. Thanks for watching!
Good
Thanks for watching my friend!
I love that Herb got a new plane. And I'm sure when this one is retired, Herb will get another one. Herb will always have a plane.
Why so much flaps on takeoff? I've never seen that flap setting for takeoffs on any 737 variant. Interesting.
This crew showed some mercy on the passengers during landing.. Not only a pretty good landing on a short runway, but they used the entire 5700', instead of going for the previous turnoff like most of the others do while testing their anti-skid systems lol... Too bad that private jet was blocking the exit, could have caused an issue for traffic behind you.
Another great video!
Thanks my friend. As you mentioned, this was a very graceful landing where SNA is concerned. I did wonder if our delayed exit caused any issues, but I never heard a plane going around. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!
HOU’s longest runways (4/22 & 13R/30L) are 7,600 ft long. A fully loaded 737-800/-8 need the flap 10 for extra lift. You’ll see this at short fields like MDW as well. MDW’s longest runway (13C/31C) is 6522 ft long. They’ll even hold the brakes while the engines spool there
ain’t she a beaut clarke
Very nice to be flying in a special livery, pretty much brand new also!!
Operating its fourth flight. Brand new! Thanks for watching my friend!
Where's the blacked out nose and #1 Heart on the side?? Sure miss seeing these old colors.
The heart logo wasn't added until much later in this liveries run. The 90's if I remember correctly. So, there's speculation that is was left off because it wasn't true to Southwest's original livery. The anti-glare shield likely wasn't added as it just requires extra maintenance, and from what I've heard from pilots, didn't really do anything to prevent glare anyway. The other aspect of the original design that's missing on this version is the windows aren't outlined in white like they were originally. Again, I've heard this was done to help with maintenance down the road. No matter what, this is a beautiful tribute nonetheless.
@@sla31 Indeed it is, awesome video, thanks for the informative reply. Luv keeping up with your vids. Cheers!
So lucky to have flown this beauty! Can't wait to spot it here at New York's LaGuardia Airport.
I hope you get to see it soon!
Beautiful aircraft and a beautiful flight! And nothing like flying on a brand new aircraft! I kind of wish they had painted the flap fairings red though, but I’ll just have to get used to it. One of my all time favorite airline liveries and I can’t wait to see it in person!
I’m flying Southwest again 2 weeks from today and have 2 flights on MAX 8’s, so I’m hoping I get super lucky!
I hope you get it my friend! Good luck! I too wish they’d paired the flap fairings but I’m sure they did it to make it easier to maintain. Thanks for watching my friend!
I wish they would've added the flat black anti-glare shield under the windshields. That aside, the livery looks fantastic! I'll have to get out of my office and walk the ramp more often.
@@sla31 We shall see…
And yeah, that’s what I’m thinking, but makes you wonder why they painted them on the Canyon Blue MAX 🤔
@@richardgivens9845 Yeah, they missed that, the white window outlines, and heart with the #1. And at least they painted the wheel covers red last minute. Still, I think it looks fantastic as it is and it looks great on a MAX. Can’t wait to see the Canyon Blue MAX soon too!
@@kg.aviation I agree. Also the retired NGs with the desert gold special liveries did not have the heart w/ number 1, white windows, and black glareshield with the darker brown. I liked all that, but nonetheless this livery looks good!
I wish in the heart livery, SWA painted the wheel hubcaps blue but I guess it makes it very dark.
That was on that airframes second revenue flight fight? I flew a United max 8 last year on its second revenue flight
It was its fourth revenue flight. It had flown PHX-DAL-BNA-HOU before this flight. However, this was its first revenue flight that wasn't at night haha. You need sun to see the flights haha.
@@sla31 I agree
YOOO. I DIDNT KNOW THE MAX FOR SOUTHWEST HAD OTHER LIVERIES OTHER THAN HEART ONE
They have two now. This one and N872CB which is painted in the canyon blue livery. Thanks for watching my friend!
Brand New Max! Brand New Flight! Firsts Are Fantabulous!!!
Thanks for watching my friend!
I work here at SNA Ops. Nice to see WN put a legacy livery on a Max 8, looks good.
It does indeed. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 you post some great videos, keep 'em coming. I hope you post one of your takeoff from SNA, we've got an interesting departure profile for noise requirements.
I did record my flight out of Santa Ana, and it was a very beautiful departure. That will be coming up soon.
@@sla31 nice, looking forward to seeing it.
The opportunity to get on a brand new plane better have that new plane smell with the fresher in the window.
What a beautiful livery!
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 You welcome!
Excellent video. Love this classic livery. What camera equipment/mount do you use for the airplane window view? It’s so steady and perfect!
Thanks my friend. I refuse to compromise the quality of my videos for comfort. So, that's why they're so smooth. I do not connect the camera to the plane with a mount in any way. I hold the camera by hand to keep it separated from the plane. Thereby eliminating the vibrations and jitters that come with mounting the camera. Yes, it is not very comfortable for me, but it provides the absolute best quality final picture possible. And then I use iPhones to film with. Their cameras are outstanding when filming in 4K, and they conform to the FAA and airline rules about electronics being used. The FAA permits "small, handheld electronics, weighing less than 2 pounds to be used during all phases of flight." So, anything larger and you start to flirt with that rule. And I've seen flight attendants tell people using larger DSLR type cameras that they must be put away for takeoff. Everyone has a phone, and 90% of the people on the flight are going to have it out during takeoff and landing. So, the flight attendants don't even bat an eye at it.
@@sla31 Great, thank you!
What a flight.What a plane.So glad to see the livery back in my favorite plane the 737.And even with in my opinion the perfect seat on the plane.Thanks so much slylite
My pleasure my friend! Thanks for watching!
@@sla31 anytime
Cool vid. Any updates on the MAX 7 for Southwest? And will they ultimately have an all MAX fleet?
Ultimately yes, they’ll have a full Max fleet. At the moment though, I just read the 7 Max isn’t going to meet certification by the December deadline. So they won’t be chatting any 7’s this year.
@@sla31 Also, do you know why the 737-900 never interested Southwest?
Or the max 10. I want to fly on one of those!
It would probably be certified this year, that been so, Southwest would bethe first one to get it 👍
I've heard This Livery Was Gonna Be On A MAX 8 And Is Now Flying As Well As A Canyon Blue Retro Livery On A MAX 8 Now Flying As Well And Is Supposed To Come Here To My Hometown Airport Albany International Airport Around 6:40pm
Well, I sure hope it does, but it's scheduling looks to be all kinds of messed up at the moment. I'm not sure which flights are actually going to happen haha.
It's Not Coming Now
I love how the *pilot* says it’s a 737-800. Southwest’s announcements are so obnoxious, loud, and long. Other than that, great video!
Awesome video! Makes me want try this out on my trip soon. How do you mount your phone on the window by the way?
Thanks my friend. That would be my right hand in this video since I was on the right side of the plane haha. No mounts here. I wear black long sleeves and black gloves to keep my skin from reflecting in the window.
that's cool, thank you for the response. Love your videos!
Anyone else catch the announcement in the terminal around the 1:06 mark the gate agent calling for a pax to re-board the flight and reminding them they are in Houston and NOT La$ Vega$...? It took me a few times to hear it but at first I thought the agent said they "are a nuisance" instead of they are in Houston...
Yeah, a more common problem on Southwest with their through flights than other airlines. Passengers getting off at the wrong stop haha. I hope he got back to his flight.
That's a lovely new Max8 . I loved the old Dessert theme on SWA. And I note that it is an ETOPS rated plane, so it will be going to Hawaii one of these days.
That’s right! This plane will be heading to Hawaii!
At the beginning of the vid it sounded like the guy was saying over the intercom "you're in Houston, you're not in Las Vegas." I don't get it. What was that?
You heard it right. Southwest operates a lot of through flights, or as Southwest calls them "one stop flights." This is where you buy a ticket form, say, New Orleans to Las Vegas, but the plane stops once in Houston. You don't get off the plane. You sit there for 35 minutes and they board new passengers and then the plane continues on to Las Vegas. Well, someone did that here and got off a the wrong stop. They didn't realize they were in Houston and thought they were in Las Vegas.
@@sla31 Aha! And thx for answering my question 😃
Good catch of not only the Herb Kelleher taking off but New Mexico One pushing back. Long ago, SWA was known for their 10 minute turnarounds, now long gone, wonder what happened? The paint scheme makes this -800 look longer, almost a -900! I believe I saw two JSX E-145's parked at the executive ramp during our taxi in. Can't ask for better weather for weather. Did you continue on elsewhere? Any idea where your aircraft started its day before HOU? Imagine being a flight crew doing the WHOLE run of this aircraft that day--?-HOU-SLC-MDW--We're well aware of your jaunt of the one-day run from PVD to SEA--which I must confess I've yet to view!
Two for one special at the end. One of Southwest's older specials with their newest. As for what happened to their famous 10 minute turns... I don't know for sure, but I suspect it has a lot to do with the way aircraft have changed, flight schedules have changed, and people's flying habits have changed over the years. First, back when it was 737-200's you're talking about about 110 people. Now, the 737-8 Max holds 175. That's a lot more people to cram in. Plus airlines used to scheduled their flights much differently. And even though Southwest still has a lot of through flights, gone are the days where the'd stop at a city and only 10 people would get off and 3 would board to continue on. People also travel with a lot of bags these days, which takes longer than 10 minutes to offload and load back up. The quickest turns I know of in the industry today are Hawaiian's inter-island flights. They're scheduled for only 25 minutes of ground time. I also know that some regional jets like the 44-50 seaters at American are also scheduled for 25 minute turns, but they're much smaller than the 120 seat 717's that Hawaiian operates. So, a 25 minute turn is more impressive on the 717. That said, I don't know that I've ever successfully seen Hawaiian turn a 717 in 25 minutes. It's usually closer to 35 minutes in my experience. They make up the extra time with schedule padding in the air. I believe Southwest has a 35 minute minimum turn now. I don't think I've ever seen anything scheduled for less than that. Either way, 10 minute turns are a thing of the past.
As for the routing of this plane, I can fill in the gaps as I was watching it closely. The aircraft was delivered to Southwest in Phoenix the day before this flight. It then went though "make ready" by the Southwest maintenance team in PHX and was slotted into the schedule that evening. It flew PHX-DAL-BNA the first night. It overnighted at BNA, and then the morning I flew it, flew from BNA-DAL-SNA-SLC. It actually didn't continue on to MDW and it was swapped for another plane. MDW had snow in the area and delays. They swapped it for another plane and sent it on to AUS I believe. I only took it on the one flight from DAL-SNA, and then flew back to PHX to head back. home. In total, I had 4 flights on this day. TUL-HOU-SNA-PHX-TUL. By the time I got back to my bed, I'd been on the road for about 22 hours. It was a long day.
SWA is known for her fa.ous TURN & BURN,once given clearance, they don't sit & let the grass grow under the wheels, it's giddyup & go!!!!!!
Pilot making a pre-flight announcement while sitting in a MAX cockpit...and calls the aircraft a "Brand spanking new 737-800..." 🤦🏻
I'll give him some slack. All Southwest pilots are trained on all the variants. The 700, 800 and Max 8. If the pilot has been flying for awhile, it's likely he flown the 800 far more than the Max 8. He probably just said it out of habit.
@@sla31 Oh, I know all of that...but there's still no mistaking the MAX in the flight deck - especially when pointing out the fact that it's brand new and that guarantees it's a MAX for a good while now. Either way, I'll also let it slide. They all look alike after enough thousands of hours.
I always prefer the seat forward of engines it gives me turbine action on takeoff and landing
Great fly! What is "The Herbert D. Kelleher Classic Desert Gold Livery" named after?
Herb Kelleher is one of the founders of Southwest. He sadly passed away in 2019. This plane is named after him and paired in Southwest’s original livery as a tribute.
Did you get this plane by luck, or did you change your reservation to this flight the day before? I’ve seen the original Herbert D Keller 737-700 never got the privilege of flying on it Unfortunately. Right now I have 2 reservations with 3 flights scheduled to be on A MAX I really hope to hop on this max. And it could happen! Awesome video!
This was not luck. I specifically chased this one. If the plane had swapped I would’ve canceled the trip. I was lucky enough to fly the old Herb One once before from DCA-MCI. You can find that video on the channel too 😁. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!
Next ride should be N872CB.
Definitely 😁.
First!!
Thanks for watching my friend! Enjoy!
