SOUTHWEST AIRLINES Introducing PENGUIN ONE


In 1988 when SeaWorld® opened in San Antonio, two great companies in the tourism world launched a new partnership in a high-flying way with the introduction of three co-branded 737 jets; Shamu One, born May 23, 1988; Shamu Two, born May 30, 1990; and Shamu Three, born September 7, 1990. Upon the retirement of Shamu One, we're excited to welcome Penguin One to our fun fleet of SeaWorld specialty planes!

Painting Process Facts:

· Penguin One is painted in seven different colors
· Nine day paint operation (24 hours around the clock) compared to the three day turnaround for our standard paint scheme
· 35 people over three shifts
· 100 gallons of paint applied to the fuselage
· The Gentoo penguins on Penguin One vary in length from 12 feet to more than 26 feet, about five to ten times the size of the average Gentoo penguin! The aircraft is also covered with a clear coat of paint to protect the design and keep Penguin One looking great for years to come.
