Alaska Airlines 1st Flight To HNL

Alaska Airlines inaugurated service to HNL from SEA today as ASA851. N559AS, a 737-890 with winglets, landed around 11:30 and blocked into Gate 23 at 11:36. And yes, this aircraft does have Chester wearing his half-lei on the tail. The photos below were taken by ha763.




Here's N559AS turning into Gate 23. (Sorry for the poor photo. I was waiting between Gate 19 and 20 for a much better shot, but my battery decided to die just as they taxied by.)


Here's a close up of Chester and his half-lei on the tail of N559AS.
