Western Airlines Boeing 737-247  
N4509W, June 1985, by Brian Peters via Ed Coates Collection. Notes: The 737 was the aircraft of choice to for the Western's short haul routes.   Including the series 300s, they eventually operated almost 70 of them at one time or another. Between the time the 737s were delivered and the takeover, they went through at least two livery changes.  Immediately below is the one adopted in the late 1970s, whilst the bottom image illustrates Western's final treatment, sans white top, prevalent in the mid 1980s.   The image of N4509W is courtesy of the  Brian Peters collection and was taken at San Jose in June of 1985, ​
