More than Aurora, they remind me of the Pacific Northwest - the sky blue and shades of green is so quintessential Washington-Oregon feel!

Alaska smashed it outta the park with their livery refresh, and I am so looking forward to see what the A320s look like in those colors! I hope when the first VX 320 is repainted, they also remove that godawful purple-pink "mood" lighting inside which makes the plane look like a cheap strip club in Vegas.


The colors also give the airline a more tropical feel at the same time, almost like the shades of blue you'd find at a tropical beach which is just as fitting considering all the sun destinations Alaska serves. There have been a lot of livery revisions in the last decade I've instant liked. AS hit the mark.

The new colors have really started to grow on me. I actually like them more now than when they first came out.

I just saw 569 the other day. Are they getting rid of the Starliner and Employee Powered schemes?

Starliner I'm not sure. Employee Powered (at least with the same design) I would bet is on the way out. They haven't collected employee signatures like they did last time.

568 has been completed so I guess be on the lookout for photos. My guess is that it's in standard colors. 526 took its place at the paint shop today.

N436QX is the first Dash 8 repaint; just left the paint shop last night last night. Also Employee powered and Starliner 75 are in standard colors now unfortunately :(

Starliner 75 was delivered to AS in those colors directly from Boeing. That's unfortunate.
