Interesting Flight SWA

DOes anyone know how this works? I found a flight then booked it using flightKiosk, but what is interesting is that Southwest Airlines does not even list Reading, PA or Scranton on their website as valid destinations. But I can see that this flight DID take place, and WOW is it a short one!

Definitely odd! Had a quick look around and, yeah, their website shows nothing for KRDG.

Kind of funny that you could probably drive the distance, faster and cheaper, than you could fly there! :lol:

Possibly a re-positioning flight or un-scheduled non charter , empty flight , the flight number will say alot normally something like SWA9***

Or maybe it happens more often than that.

Nice, vid. That pilot is just showing off. I wish I could land that smooth :lol:

Looks like an air show going on in the background?

Gentlemen,

Reading is home to the MAAM. They have also offered some very nice FS products!

I believe they have at least one air show a year that attracts National attention!

My best,
