How times have changed...

Here's a funny testament to how things have changed... this photo was taken on a Southwest flight that had just arrived in Lubbock from DAL. I wasn't even on the flight. In fact, I wasn't flying anywhere that day. I came to pick up a friend, and since he was taking forever to get off the plane, I walked on as it was de-boarding. Capt'n and FO were a couple of great guys - Capt'n even gave up his seat and did his paperwork in the galley to let me have a seat.

737-200 obviously - circa 2000.

I thought you were talking about the steam guages

Haha, yeah I noticed that too

INS instead of FMS, too?

 

[Murdoughnut]

Doubt you'd even need an FMS for that 45-minute haul.

Yeah, I doubt you'd need it either, but it just looks like it's not in there. An old INS would take a while to spin up and program, too, which almost isn't worth it for such a short flight.
