N559AS

I was very fortunate to be able to ride on the delivery flight for our New Generation Boeing 737-800, tail number N559AS. As you can see, it's ETOPS certified. HNL here we come!

I thought that it wasn't gonna be anything special, but boy was I wrong. After a very steep climb out of Boeing Field, we cruised up to the Washington peninsula, then headed south to Mt. Rainier. It was cloudy most of the one hour ride, but once we lowered to 15,500 ft, we cleared the clouds and circled Mt. Rainier. This was the closest any commercial jetliner can get. It was so close you could see all the crevices and valleys in the glaciers. We flew even closer than the Horizon flights get. Below are the pictures of the unforgettable ride.
