N644AS taxiing at SEA with some threatening-looking clouds in the background back in August. Would be fun to fly this into Oakland and LAX (the two places I’ve seen one in-person).
That’s a cool photo! I’ve never seen a -700 in Oakland, definitely more in SEA, ANC, and Juneau.
It’s rare that they come that far south these days.
Hey, I went to ride the plane for Alaska Airlines, and guess the first time the old Boeing 737-700 registration N622AS flew from Seattle to Juneau last on December 18, 2024! It was my flight AS61.
