Southwest Airways  Lockheed 12A

N71K, 1950s, By William Larkins via Ed Coates Collection. Notes: This aircraft was formerly with California Central Airways.       SWA appears to have acquired it around 1955.  William Larkins' shot above was taken at San Francisco at that time.  I doubt it was used on scheduled services, although possibly was in limited service to back up their DC-3s. .This Electra Junior is currently at Disneyworld in Orlando, where it is masquerading as the "Lockheed from the Movie Casablanca".     (In actual fact, that machine was almost certainly NC17376 -   c/n 1220).
