Boeing B.737-301 (c/n 23229/1112)
Western Pacific Airlines
Phoenix-Sky Harbor International (PHX/KPHX)
28 September 1997
N950WP is another ex Piedmont and USAir 737-300 that ended up in Western Pacific Airlines' colourful fleet. It advertised for the famous Stardust Resort & Casino, a resort that opened in 1958 on the Strip in Las Vegas, was acquired by the Boyd family in 1985, but closed doors in late 2006.
N950WP was captured on short finals to runway 26 at Sky Harbor, having additional Boyd Gaming insignias, and prominently featuring Ms. Aki in fin, a showgirl from the Las Vegas production "Enter the Night".
Built in 1985, N950WP was acquired by Western Pacific in August 1995, and sold to Southwest Airlines after their demise in April 1998. It was retired in 2016 at Tucson, and broken up there sometime after.
