I didn’t know you could roll down those windows. Please tell me it’s the old roll-crank handle!

I wonder if the pilots play "airplane" with their hand out the window while flying?

"I didn’t know you could roll down those windows."

Of course, you have to be able to negotiate with the locals:

Of course they do. How else is the pilot supposed to give his credit card to the guy at the pump?

Somebody has to be able to operate those little dials on the side of the plane. /s

I personally don’t think it’s a SWA plane. But that’s ok. The pic serves its purpose in getting its point across.

They actually slide back. Kinda like a side door on a van, but they slide to the inside.

The windows slide back and forth on a track. When they’re closed, they are locked into place.

They don’t roll down (LOL), but they do slide. They’re openable, on the ground, to allow for emergency egress.
