Wondering where in Boeing N704AL is now… It’s the 737-MAX 9 that lost a door earlier this year.

I saw a Reddit post somewhere that it is in a quiet corner at PDX…I doubt it will fly for Alaska again.

(Or not at least for a long time)

is this a new Alaska airlines livery? i think this might be a current one

This was posted in 2017, when the livery was new at the time. It is the current livery.

Hello! I’ve had my vote on this for a while and I’m sad to still not see the Alaska Airlines 2016 livery (the current one) added to the 800, and 700:( I really hope this one also comes with the Max!

@737Aviator i agree! I hope these 2 awesome liveries get added soon.

Yeah i’m pretty sure they axed it out due to people making memes of it.

That makes sense. I also doubt they would want the negative attention from Avgeeks on that specific plane.

Bump, if the New Alaska airlines livery is on the MAX-8, it should be on the -800

Topic bump! I hope to see this with a Hawaiian and/or Alaska A320/A321NEO someday!

Hey, I was obsessed with riding the plane is a Boeing 737-800 with Alaska Airlines again the same when outbound and inbound from Seattle. I have 6 times to ride the plane first time retro with the Hawaiian Lei scheme from Honolulu flown to Seattle last on December 24, 2007.

April 3, 2016, Alaska Airlines (N565AS) with Hawaiian Lei scheme from Seattle to DCA.

December 18, 2017, Alaska Airlines (N569AS) from Seattle to DCA.

January 2, 2018, Alaska Airlines (N514AS) from DCA to Seattle.

May 10, 2023, Alaska Airlines (N587AS) from Boston to Seattle.

The last time my flight flew again come back home to Seattle, was on June 14, 2024, on Alaska Airlines (N551AS) from KJFK/JFK to Seattle.
