Sorry about the crappy light, but as far as I'm aware, this is a pretty rare visitor to Paine Field:

Experimental SWA 737 - assuming due to the lobe partially hidden by the winglet:

Southwest is planning on adding wifi to their planes - I'd bet this is their first one.

Great catch on the JANET

I figured - is ATS doing the modification?

JANET must be up for a check of some sort. Typically we send planes up to PAE and OKC for there C-4 checks and stuff.

I have actually seen a couple of WN 737's with the wifi bump on top at LGA, I think my first sighting was around 2 months ago.

Cheers

After a mod like this, when does the airframe become not-experimental again? I could be wrong, but I thought this one was headed back to Dallas.
