The Boeing 737-200 Advanced was the aircraft that helped transform Southwest Airlines from a small Texas intrastate carrier into one of America's most successful airlines. Southwest began operations in 1971 with the 737-200 and operated the type exclusively during its formative years before retiring the last example on January 17, 2005 after more than three decades of service. Aircraft N96SW became one of the airline's recognizable classics, carrying the distinctive Desert Gold colors that defined Southwest through much of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. 

The model is pristine, never removed from its original packaging or box, which has minimal storage wear; of note, the bottom right corner of the front of its sleeve has some slight creasing. Please refer to the photos provided.
