The Wright Amendment restricted flights at Love Field airport, and its expiration on October 13, 2014, was cause for celebration by Southwest Airlines and the North Texas traveling public. In the year leading up the expiration, Southwest Airlines heavily promoted the new flight offerings with billboards along Mockingbird Lane.
The billboard at the Shell station on the southeast corner of Mockingbird and Cedar Springs was updated weekly with the number of weeks remaining until the expiration date.
