Just in relation to the Illinois one livery a/c video. The first half of that video is NOT the aircraft in question. The type is incorrect as is the line number for the fuselage. This is the standard video now for any special paint scheme video and the second half only is of that plane.
A friend of mine just happened to be at BFI when it was test flown at 2200 (WAY LATER THAN NORMAL). He was on his laptop totally unaware of the special scheme when the controller came across his scanner and said "That is the most awesome livery we've ever seen come out of the paintshop here". He grabbed his camera, ramped up the ISO and shot the shots you originally saw on the net. The next day with Southwests secret livery out in the open more or less, WN revised the flt schedule and it was flown pre-sunrise out to Moses Lake where you could pretty much hide anything if you wanted to! They did NOT want anyone shooting that plane before the launch at MDW.
