Here's a cropped frame-grab from my video of the brand-new unpainted Boeing 737 MAX8 which arrived at Portland Int'l Airport #KPDX today. I didn't find an obvious match for which airline it's going to, based on the painted rudder and winglets. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

From home in Portland I saw a green unpainted Boeing 737 MAX8 on final approach to Portland Int'l #KPDX, coming from the 737 factory in Renton #KRNT, Washington. The pre-painted rudder and winglets appear to be from AJet of Turkey. This is usually the first flight of the aircraft by Boeing test pilots. It's going to Boeing's Portland paint hangar which handles overflow when the Seattle-area paint hangars are booked. #aviation #avgeek #PNW
