Boeing 737-700 (N553WN) - The nose gear tires of Southwests N553WN have just touched down on KRNOs runway 16R and the brakes, thrust reversers and dirty wings are all being employed to slow it down as the third of SWAs five special Shark Week-schemed fleetbirds pays a visit* to northern Nevada. br /* This arrival is actually the second time that the "Tiger Shark" scheme has been here. It made its first visit here just after midnight yesterday morning, and it left before 7 AM after a brief six-hour RON rest. I missed my chance to get a click of it yesterday, but the shot would have been taken in darkness anyway, so I am quite pleased that I had this opportunity to click it as seen here even though the daytime temp today hit triple digits.

To get a great closeup look at the "Tiger Shark" nose art on N553WN, check out RWB2112's pic. He snapped it about two weeks ago at KSAT. Just click on the following link to view his click.
