- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Southwest 737MAX8 bearing the registration N871HK pays a special tribute to one of the most beloved figures in the aviation industry, Herb Kelleher. Herb was the co-founder and longtime CEO of Southwest Airlines, a carrier known for its unconventional approach to flying. Under Herb’s visionary leadership, Southwest became a pioneer of low-cost, no-frills air travel in the United States, and it’s credited with revolutionizing the industry.
- The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, a narrow-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), a division of American company Boeing. It succeeds the Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) and competes with the Airbus A320neo family. The new series was announced on August 30, 2011. It took its maiden flight on January 29, 2016 and was certified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in March 2017. The first delivery was a MAX 8 in May 2017 to Malindo Air, with which it commenced service on May 22, 2017.
- Southwest Airlines Co. is an airline based in the United States and the world’s largest low-cost carrier. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and has scheduled service to 121 destinations in the United States and 10 additional countries. As of 2018, Southwest carried more domestic passengers than any other United States airline. It is currently the third largest airline in North America based on passengers flown.
- The aircraft N871HK represents a fitting tribute to Herb Kelleher, who was not only a businessman but also a charismatic and humorous leader. Known for his signature style of wearing jeans and a white shirt, Herb’s approach to aviation was anything but ordinary. He believed in providing affordable air travel with a smile and his dedication to delivering the highest level of customer service made Southwest Airlines a standout in the industry.
- Now, aviation enthusiasts and admirers of Herb Kelleher’s legacy have the opportunity to celebrate this iconic figure with a 1:200 scale model. Whether displayed as a symbol of aviation history or as a reminder of the pioneering spirit of Herb Kelleher, this model is a fitting addition to any collection, allowing you to honor the man who forever changed the way we fly.
