Alaska Airlines has a nice collection of special liveries on their Boeing 737s. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is a great place to spot these birds and SpeedBirdHD has made a video that highlights the special livery aircraft seen at LAX.

I’ve caught nearly all the current special liveries except the new Salmon Thirty Salmon (yet) here at PDX. By far, the Timbers livery is just awe strikingly loud and eye catching. In fact the other day, N607AS was on final turning above my house approx 15mi away from PDX…darn this whole driving while taking pictures thing! That livery is so darn unique in the sea of white regularly seen. Spirit of Seattle and Starliner 75 are couple of my other favorites.
Which brings up a question I’ve had for a while… With Alaska Airlines being based in Seattle, do Seattle Sounders fans(or the team) feel “dissed” with AS being a main sponsor of the Portland Timbers and painting up one of their planes for them??
I am not a huge sports fan, so I am not fully connected with how angry Sounders fans might be. However, I am a northwest native and many here feel like Portland is our sister city and it is hard to get upset (especially when we are the cooler sibling 🙂 )
My favorite is the 75th Anniversary retro livery
second that if they would take the ’75’ off the tail.
timberland is the best
Thanks for sharing, David!
