Will look into getting permission. Already have the Seahawks version just about completed for my own stable. Mark is out of touch for about a week. Will check with him when he gets back.
Regards,
Tom

That would be great, thanks! Have good memories of these vintage Alaska tri-holers...
I was 16 in July, 1983 when Dad and I flew from KSEA to PANC to fix up a Cessna and fly it back; halfway there, we were served REAL food: lasagne, summer veggies, a small slice of chocolate cake...but the real treat was when the attendant asked if I wanted wine with my meal. My jaw dropped, I was only 16! But we were over international waters; I looked at my dad and he actually nodded! And I got a tiny bottle of Ernest & Julio Gallo red! That was a great trip and experience, and everyone in my class thought I was the coolest later that September!
Good memories, indeed.

That is another great paint. A first for the NFL Livery Seahawk. Totems and Miners would be most welcome!

I believe I can give the miner a try. My freehand sketching/tracing could use the practice. Here's some preliminary work I did to see if it is within my capabilities. Not to sure about the totem or "onion" yet. It anyone has examples of the art other than airliners.net I would be obliged. I know the pick-axe handle needs some work (straightening).  Regards, Tom |

Those look "GREAT" Tom  .... we'll take'em all !  There's actually a whole squadron of different period liveries applicable to ALASKA AIRLINES B727-100 and -200 aircraft (including 1 also for the gold and maroon liveries B720-A which we still don't yet have .... and a mysterious B707-320 as well which we believe appeared in the same or similar livery but which we've never been able to identify) .... which we need .... SO .... if you want to consider doing these for us too then they're "YOURS". Among these is also a B727-200 which ALASKA leased from BRANIFF .... and which I believe appeared in basic 1980's style BN Ultra livery with "ALASKA" titles added. I'll see what references I can dig up later on in order to try'n assist you. Mark C BOG/CO |
