Alaska Airlines unveils soccer-themed 'Timbers Jet'

I thought some of you may enjoy this new livery from Alaska Airlines (http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/post/2011/05/alaska-airlines-timbers-jet/169650/1), showcasing Major League Soccer Team, the Portland Timbers.

There is also a great gallery (http://travel.usatoday.com/gallery/Sports-themed+aircraft/G1862) of other sports-themed liveries.

love it!

Alaskan are excellent with these special schemes- they seem to paint heaps of their planes- not just 1 or 2 or a few like we see with many others and they are always high quality paints which stand out.. I was on the Disney 737-900 in December - thats gotta be my favourite paint of theres!

Highly recommend them as an airline to go on too- Wifi:D

Was playing tennis at Sunset Park this morning which is adjacent to the flight path at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas and saw the Portland Timbers livery Alaska Airlines jet coming in to land very close up. With clear blue skies and the new green paint, it looked really crisp and awesome to say the least.
