PNX is one of the fastest growing airports in the U.S. It is a rare airport,
like Chicago and Las Vegas that is home to 2 airline hub operations: US
Airways and Southwest. Southwest has over 33% of market share giving hometown
US Airways a run for its money.

and Honolulu. This example was pushing back for a flight to Honolulu. |

Southwest 737-700
Low cost pioneer Southwest, along with hometown carrier American
West, dominates Phoenix International Airport. This 737NG is seen on take-off
in the airline’s previous livery. One way to identify the NG’s
from the 737-300 / 500s is by the painted flap canoe ferrings located underneath
the wing. |

this Canyon Blue schemed logojet in "Triple Crown" marks. |

Classic Flight Deck
Many of America West's classic 737-300 and 500s still retain the
"steam driven" flight deck. The airline has switched all of its
new plane orders to the A-320 from the 737. |
