Boeing 737-700 (N947WN)

Submitted

Southwest's N947WN, the B737 fleetbird displaying the special Shark Week "Bull Shark" nose art design, is captured as it covers the final five thousand feet of its short final to Reno Tahoe International's 16R earlier today. N947WN was arriving from KLAX when this pic was clicked at ten minutes before straight-up high noon.
At this moment, as I post this snap into my FA photo gallery folder, N947WN is again en route to RNO for the second time in eight hours, but this time it is coming to Reno from Las V (KLAS).

My catch of N947WN with this "Bull Shark" design means I have now caught all five of the SWA Shark Week nose art aircraft; N470WN - "Great White," N705SW - "Hammerhead," N961WN - "Mako," N553WN - "Tiger," and this one. Southwest will be removing all five of the Shark Week designs in less than three weeks (at the end of this month), but it was rather fun tracking them in order to catch them all, and I'm wondering what new idea they will come up with next year.

** Special Note to R.J. >>> I don't know exactly HOW you made it happen, but I definitely know you caused that "very-far-in-advance notification" to appear on my computer the instant I ran that tracking check yesterday. Thank You very, VERY much, R.J. I am grateful beyond words. Please remember my offer - to you and to your lady. It is an open-ended offer -- no expiration date, my friend. Thank You again.
