I got pictures of a brand new Boeing 737 MAX8 on final approach to Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX. This is the recurring theme of 737 MAX planes arriving for painting in Portland. It's flown by Boeing test pilots on its first flight out of the Boeing Renton #KRNT factory. The mystery each time we see one of these is what airline it's going to. This time the pre-painted rudder indicates the customer is American Airlines. #UnpaintedAirplane #PicklePlane #aviation #avgeek #PNW

Spotted: brand new Boeing 737 MAX8 departing Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX. It came from the Boeing Paint Hangar wearing TUI livery and ADS-B indicating UK registration G-TUPC. It's flying with the callsign Boeing 911. Next step after its arrival at Seattle Boeing Field #KBFI will likely be "delivery" (payment and change of ownership) to the customer who will then ferry it home. #aviation #avgeek #PNW
