U S Navy Acquires SWA 737-300
Navy gets SWA jet for live-fire testing
It looks like the 737 platform will be the replacement for the Navy's P3. SWA pilots flew it in and the engines and apu were removed.

What a way to purchase 137 copies of Spirit magazeine!! I wonder if it included Monster Energy drink too??

Not that I'm disappointed to see one less -300 in the fleet, aren't many "legacy" carriers flying metal more older than this retired 22 year old 737?

"The test schedule for S1 was tight," Gorish said. "It was going to be a challenge to get everything done in the allotted timeframe. Now, we can offload some of the tests planned for S1 onto this 737 airframe and complete all tests as planned."

"The first LFTE test scheduled for the 737 will look at how the hydraulics in the tail portion of the aircraft react when hit with a threat. Another test will evaluate how the oxygen bottles will react to a ballistic impact in a fully pressurized cabin. "
