You guys need to grow up. Most engines do that if the aircraft hasn't been started for a few days, no fire, no nothing. It's like starting a car that hasn't been started for weeks. The SWA safety cards just say Boeing 737. I can tell the difference, the 700 has painted and different shaped flap conoes.
@Boeing757200A congratualtions,im pretty sure thats how everyone tells the difference....except with the -500 series...which has 15 fewer seats, and can be identified by the tail number Ex. N501SW. I had talked to the gate agent and she had said there was a mechanical problem. this wasnt normal....espcially where the smoke had been pouring out for 30 seconds. usually you just see a quick puff....and this aircraft had flown 3 flights before this one.
@SouthwestFreak I was primarily speaking to those tat said : "Wow - thanks for posting - okay, I'll pass on flying the 737's for a while!!!!"
I've been on dozens of 733s, most of the time it does that, which more than 3/4 of the flights I went on the 733s were actually either real early morning flights, or an aircraft that came out of maintenance.
Yikes! Southwest is smart adding winglets to their -300 fleet =) Convince the non-aviation enthusiasts that maybe they are boarding the -700 series =P Now all thats left to do is transfer the safety cards in the seat pockets ;-) And the fear of flying the -300 dinosaur series fleet will hopefully diminish =D
@SouthwestFreak LOL! thats like my wife everytime we fly on a -300 she knows how elderly these series of Boeings are hahaha I don't even have to tell her =)
