Alaska Airlines completed repainting #N780HA, the 2nd of 5 #Alaska787 planes in Aurora Borealis livery. It flew from Fort Worth Meacham Field #KFTW to Seattle #KSEA this morning to re-enter service. It took 3 weeks for repainting. The next ones may take less time - filed and canceled flight plans looked like they wanted to get it out before last weekend's ice storm. At the same time, next plane in line #N781HA flew from SEA to FTW for repainting. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N781HA/history/20260129/0925Z/KSEA/KFTW #aviation #travel #avgeek

New #Alaska787 #N784HA is in flight on its entry-into-service flight from Seattle #KSEA to Tokyo Narita #RJAA . (link in previous post) And a friend pointed out that even before that took off, Hawaiian's oldest 787 #N780HA flew from Seattle to Fort Worth #KFTW to be repainted to Alaska. The other 3 are expected to get turns in the paint hangar before Seattle-Rome flights begin in late April. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N780HA/history/20260108/1810Z/KSEA/KFTW #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW

"Alaska Airlines welcomes first 787 widebody aircraft in new global livery", press release by Alaska Airlines - Official photos and time-lapse painting video released of #Alaska787 #N784HA, which were taken outside the paint hangar at Fort Worth Meacham Field #KFTW before departure for its Seattle unveiling.

#avgeek alert: #Alaska787 #N784HA is headed to Seattle Boeing Field #KBFI from the paint hangar in Ft Worth TX #KFTW. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N784HA/history/20260107/0040Z/KFTW/KBFI #aviation #travel #avgeek

#Alaska787 #N784HA arrived at Fort Worth Meacham Field #KFTW and then taxied as expected to a paint hangar. When it comes out of the hangar, it should be the first plane in the new Alaska Aurora livery. We don't know when that will be, but probably not before Christmas. Let's keep alert for fellow planespotters when it emerges. #aviation #travel #avgeek

Continuing the saga of #Alaska787 #N784HA, it departed Los Angeles #KLAX as Alaska 9965 bound for Forth Worth Meacham Field #KFTW. There was no public info on what if any work was done during its 6 days at LAX. But Hawaiian has maintenance there. Screenshots of the departure from AirlineVideosLive on YouTube and from ADSB.lol. There is a paint hangar at KFTW, which is my guess where it's going. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N784HA/history/20251212/1940Z/KLAX/KFTW #aviation #travel #avgeek
