Airframe story
N8655D is a Boeing 737-8H4 built in 2014, registered first to the Boeing Company before Southwest Airlines Co took over registration from 2015. After N781WN was retired in June 2023, the "New Mexico One" livery was painted onto N8655D, making it one of the carrier's special-scheme aircraft rather than a jet distinguished by its routings. The original New Mexico One was flown on a 737-700, and Southwest has a practice of moving a livery to a new aircraft when the prior one reaches the end of its service life, which is how the scheme came to N8655D. Southwest has remained the registered operator per the facts, and the jet logged 1,655 flights and 3,125.1 hours in the most recent observed year. Its current chapter shows it at Boeing Field/King County International (KPAE) for an ongoing 18-day stay, though the reason cannot be confirmed from public sources.
Livery guess: New Mexico One (Southwest Airlines special livery). A snippet states this livery was painted onto N8655D after N781WN's retirement in June 2023, with a second snippet describing the lineage of the New Mexico One scheme from an earlier 737-700.
