After servicing Missouri for more than 30 years, Southwest Airlines showed its loyalty to the state in a unique way Wednesday.

At a "show time" themed party at a hangar in Kansas City International Airport, Southwest executives debuted Missouri One, a 737 that features a paint scheme of the state's flag on its body, in front of Gov. Jay Nixon, Kansas City Mayor Sly James and more.

Southwest Airlines posted a nifty time lapse video of how the plane was painted to its Facebook and Youtube pages. Watch it below. The video was shot over the course of 10 days, according to the Youtube description.
