So I am sitting above the piano bar and looking out above all the action and I noticed that US has elected to start plugging brow windows which saves about 500 LBS. It looks pretty slick actually.

Anyone find any pics of this yet?
What versions are they doing this to?

This mod is happening industry-wide and is available for all versions of the 737 (including the 200). I am 90% certain that a "plug" mod is also available for DC-9/MD-80s now as well.

After posting the thread I went to another much higer elevated location andsaw most of C con full of 737's plugged. Apparently all of US's 737's will be getting it. They look very sharp if I do say so myself. Also, the only airplanes I am noticeing in bluetop colors lately are some 321's and orig 170's. Midatlantic birds mostly.

I've known that any 737 can have this done, but I was more curious as to which US would be doing it to.
How long does the change take?
