Planespotting from home this afternoon, I got pics of a brand new green Boeing 737 MAX8 inbound from the 737 factory in Renton #KRNT. It was on final approach to Portland Int'l #KPDX. After landing, ADS-B showed it taxied to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar as expected. The pre-painted rudder looks like this plane's buyer is SCAT Airlines of Kazakhstan. ADS-B data agreed, showing a KZ reg. I saw another SCAT arrive May 31 & leave June 12. #UnpaintedAirplane #PicklePlane #aviation #avgeek #PNW

It flew in from the Boeing 737 factory in Renton, Washington, probably on this plane's first flight. The pre-painted rudder indicates this aircraft will go to SCAT Airlines of Kazakhstan. photo by Ian Kluft July 28, 2025 Portland, Oregon, USA A brand new green unpainted Boeing 737 MAX8 on final approach to Portland Int'l Airport PDX for painting.

An unpainted green Boeing 737 MAX8 flew by today on its way to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar. I got pictures from home as it flew by about a mile away on final approach to Portland #KPDX Runway 28L. The pre-painted rudder indicates this one may be for Arajet of the Dominican Republic. Since it flew in from Moses Lake, Washington #KMWH, it was likely coming from storage, not the factory. (Orders may change for stored planes.) #UnpaintedAirplane #PicklePlane #aviation #avgeek #PNW
