The newest themed airplane in Alaska Airlines' fleet flew into SeattleTacoma International Airport today, featuring one of America's most beloved and rusty tow trucks. Adorned with the familiar images of DisneyPixar's animated Cars characters Mater, Lightning McQueen, Guido and Luigi, the colorful Boeing 737800 named "Adventure of Disneyland Resort" celebrates Alaska's partnership with Walt Disney's original theme park.
The Adventure of Disneyland Resort aircraft received its new livery at Aviation Technical Services in Everett, Wash. A team of specialists from Associated Painters Inc. accomplished the complicated painting process, including a spongetype application to recreate Mater's rustcolored finish.
