BOE446 did eventually make it to Portland today, after repairs at BFI for whatever malfunction caused the Boeing test pilots to divert 2 days ago on the plane's first flight out of the Renton factory. It will be painted with registration C-GYYS and WestJet🇨🇦 livery. Other avgeeks looked up this 737 MAX8 is line number LN9714. Here's my video of the landing on Runway 28L at PDX a little before noon today. #UnpaintedAirplane #PicklePlane #KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek

Spotted on final approach to Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX: #UnpaintedAirplane Boeing 737 MAX9 flying as BOE964. This was the airplane's first flight, which departed from Boeing's 737 factory in Renton, Washington #KRNT. The pre-painted rudder and transponder telemetry both indicate this plane will be going to United Airlines. After landing it taxied to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar. #PicklePlane #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW
