A friend of mine was at the rollout of Alaska’s 75th anniversary plane yesterday in Seattle, and he sent a couple of pictures. This is one good looking bird, despite the crappy weather which made the plane blend in with the clouds.

I think the gray body turned out well, though it remains to be seen how shiny it will look in the sun. The script “Boeing” titles just of the nose are pretty cool looking.

I’m not quite sure what the stiltwalker is doing in that picture below. I’ll just hope that’s not the flight attendant uniform from the old days.
