Veterans’ Alaska 737 – Finally!

Alaska Airlines has a number of jets in special colors.  My efforts to finally get the merger jet were covered in this post.  One of the other jets that I never managed to catch in California was their Tribute to Service aircraft that is honoring veterans.  My friend Roger caught it a number of times but I was always in the wrong place.

Alaska is, despite the name, headquartered in Seattle so their jets are regularly rotating through SeaTac.  Shortly after arriving here, I saw that this jet was coming in and, since I was nearby, I decided to see if it could finally catch it.  Sure enough, I got it. I would also like to point out the sun and blue skies in this shot for those of you that think I have moved to somewhere where it only rains.  It’s true that it does rain but not as much as you think so far!
