Alaska’s first Boeing 737MAX, N913AK, heads out for departure at Seattle-Tacoma with the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance. On March 1st of this year, N913AK completed the first Alaska Airlines 737MAX revenue flight, Seattle-San Diego. This particular aircraft was just delivered to Alaska in January of this year. Prior to flying its first revenue service with Alaska, it had carried out test and familiarization flights on a number of routes in Alaska’s network. Alaska has plans to operate 68 737-9s (or MAX9s) and has options for another 52 aircraft. The ultimate plan is to retire the former Virgin American Airbus A320s as more of the -9s enter service. #avgeek #aviation #airlines #aircraft #planeporn #KSEA #SEA #Seattle #SeaTac #Washington #airport #planespotting #instaplane #Boeing #737 #MAX9 #Alaska #AlaskaAirlines #N913AK #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqMHJplHh0/?utm_medium=tumblr
