HISTORY ASPECTS: The Boeing 737-800 with the special livery "Alaska Airlines - Honoring Those Who Serve" registered as N570AS is a testament to Alaska Airlines deep respect and gratitude for the men and women who have served in the U.S. military. This aircraft serves as a flying tribute adorned with a striking design featuring patriotic colors and symbols including stars and stripes. It is a symbol of the airlines commitment to recognizing the sacrifices and contributions made by these brave individuals.In the early 1990s Boeing worked on designing an aircraft that would replace older models of its popular Boeing 737 jetliner. In June 1983 Boeing launched the 737-X program after having received an order from Southwest Airlines for 63 aircraft. This resulted in the development of the 737 Next Generation (737NG or 737 Next Gen) aircraft and would go on to include four different variants: the -600 -700 -800 and -900. The Boeing Next Generation 737s incorporate a larger wing more powerful engines and can fly longer range routes with higher payloads than the earlier 737 models. The Boeing 737-700 was the first variant to enter production with the first delivery having been made to Southwest Airlines in December 1997. Thereafter in September 1994 the first Boeing 737-800 was delivered to Hapag-Lloyd w
