WN Turns Fifty!
Fifty years ago (June 18, 1971) Southwest (737-200) makes its first flight DAL-SAT, fares were $20 and the "stewardesses" wore "hot pants" and knee-high "go-go boots".
Happy Birthday Southwest!

Well I talked to a few people and we came up with - Texas/country music/Willie Nelsonmaybe
