Alaska's first jet was a Convair 880 and the latest jet a Max 9.

An interesting comparison! What is your opinion on both models?

Great stuff.

The Aeroclassics Alaska Convair 880 is one of my all time favourite models. Love the scheme and the mould.

Amazing how the 737 MAX 9 is actually larger than the 880.

The old and the new, how time has changed in technology.

Definitely, seems like a lifetime ago when the 880s were flying. On a side note, the first jet service to IND was a TWA Convair 880, in January 1961.

Wow, I didn't know Alaska had a gold livery like that. Super neat. Need to look at some route maps and timetables from then for them.

That is a nice livery.
