#Onthisday in 1971, Southwest Airlines began operation in Texas. The “Love Bird” service out of Dallas Love Field offered twelve daily round-trip flights from Dallas to Houston and six round-trip flights from Dallas to San Antonio on Boeing 737-200s. The airline inaugurated service to SFO in 1982. Have you ever flown on Southwest Airlines?
