Did Southwest Airlines ever have MD80's

I do not think that Southwest ever had any MD80's, but I would like to know for sure.  Is there a customer list anyplace that I can look and find out, or does anyone know for sure?

Technically, they weren't Southwest, but they were under their control. So I'm not sure if it really counts.

The airline operates more Boeing 737s in its fleet than any other airline in the world; Southwest is often cited as an example of an airline streamlining operations by having only one type of aircraft. However, Southwest operated leased 727-200 aircraft during the late-1970s and again in the mid-1980s and subsidiary TranStar Airlines operated DC-9s and MD-80s during the mid-1980s. Southwest has been a launch customer for all three of the Boeing 737 variants it currently operates, and was the first airline to put both the Model 500 and next-generation Model 700 into service. Southwest has a mix of old and new aircraft with both its "classic" and "next generation" 737 aircraft.
