Here's a closer look with a screenshot, cropped and slightly sharpened, for a view of the painted rudder and winglets to figure out who's the customer for this Boeing 737 MAX8. (edit: the top stripes on the tail look like Norwegian Air Shuttle. But the winglets would be a new style for them.) #KPDX #aviation #avgeek #travel

I think this is rare for Portland, but not unheard of - a second brand new green Boeing in one day, on its first flight coming for paint. (The Boeing paint hangar in Portland has capacity for 2 planes at a time.) This time it's a 737 MAX9. The painted rudder looks to me like it's going to Aeroméxico. This morning I drove to the airport; this time I took my bicycle and got it from a spot where there's no public parking available. #KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW
