Boeing 737MAX Production/Delivery Thread 2018

What happened to the tail cone?

it's in the blue parts trailer to the right..

SRQKEF · Wed Feb 21, 2018 2:09 am

Seems that FI have made a subtle livery change after all! In addition to the already noted logoless outboard winglet, the orange tail logo is of a different more pastel-like color and the fuselage is much more white. Personally, I have to say I really don’t like the changes and hope they don’t apply them to the 757s and 767s...

Looks incomplete, there are 2 tone on the tail and they don't look like they match well. I would think that it may undergo further painting.

Just posted in the other thread that according to local sources here in Iceland, the paintwork indeed isn’t finished and it will be completed in-house once the aircraft arrives in KEF.

I can't imagine the jokes being made by boeing employees right now. Kind of like every time I saw a speed limit sign in Denmark and Sweden (fart = speed) despite it being juvenile I just never got over it. False cognates are fun.

For those of us less initiated, is the AC bird going to Kelowna and straight into revenue service? I can't imagine what else it'd be doing in YLW except picking up passengers?

Hi,

I am wondering regarding the door behind the wing on MAX 9, - United has a large window in it:

But Lion has a very small one like here:

I know that in United is the door probably not visible from inside, but if it later should fly for another carrier - will they be able to use the door after some changes in interior panels?

The difference is that the UA frame is a plug door while the Lion frame is an operable exit door. AFAIK, the plug could be removed and swapped for an actual exit if needed.

Yes, it flew direct from Seattle to Glasgow where I observed it overnighting before continuing to Muscat the following day. GLA appears to be the intermediate stop for Oman and Fly Dubai examples.
