Alaska Airlines Fleet Boeing 737-700 Portland “Timbers Jet” Background Story

In January 2011, the Portland Timbers and Alaska Airlines teamed up to launch a special ‘Paint the Plane’ art contest asking fans to create artwork to adorn an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-700.

Entries were judged based on originality, creativity and the ability to express the Portland Timbers brand by a group of Alaska Airlines and Timbers representatives.

Elements of the two first-place designs created by Paul Wright, of Portland, and John Bode of San Mateo, Calif., were combined into a final design that now adorns an Alaska Airlines 737-700 jet and flies throughout the carrier’s network. One runner up and seven honorable mentions were also recognized.

The final design of the Timbers-themed airplane was unveiled during a special event at Portland International Airport in early May and immediately entered regular service to all cities currently served by Alaska Airlines with a 737-700.

Alaska Airlines Commemorative aircraft Spirit of Seattle plane Boeing 737-800

Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-890 N512AS (cn 39043:2711) Spirit of Seattle McCarran International Airport (KLAS) Las Vegas, Nevada

Alaska Airlines Commemorative aircraft Spirit of Seattle plane Boeing 737-800. Introduced in 2008, the “Spirit of Seattle” celebrates Alaska Airlines’ longstanding business relationship with its hometown partner, The Boeing Co.

The special livery features Boeing’s sweeping blue stripes and Alaska’s beloved Eskimo.

In 2005, due to the greater efficiency of the Boeing 737 Next Generation and rising costs for maintenance, fuel, and crew training, Alaska Airlines decided to phase out its remaining 26 MD-80s and trained its pilots to fly the newer Boeing 737-800s that were being ordered to replace them.

According to the airline, the MD-80 burned 1,100 US gallons (4,200 l) of fuel per hour, while the 737-800 burns just 850 US gallons (3,200 l) per hour.

The last MD-80 flights flew on August 25, 2008, with one flight from San Jose to Seattle and another from Sacramento to Seattle.

To mark its transition to an all-Boeing fleet, Alaska Airlines unveiled a 737-800 called Spirit of Seattle with Boeing’s house colors painted on the fuselage and the airline’s Eskimo logo painted on the tail fin.
