This left Missoula before dawn Saturday on the Q-ALTPTL6-14. Loose the hounds!

Does it have a commemorative wrap or banner?

I am told it has 10,000 about 2-3' tall painted(?) below mid fuselage ahead of the wing mounts.

It's a 737MAX-8 that's going to Southwest Airlines. Spirit Aerosystems posted this photo on their Twitter account:

With the snow and wind this afternoon, it's going to be a mess getting anywhere east of Spokane through Northern Idaho into Montana. Not feeling that adventurous today.

A 1 in 10,000 opportunity and you take a pass? At least it is only slushy, next week sub zero temps return to MT.

I do know how you feel, I was not totally crushed when it departed before dawn and I did not have to fight the roads for a photo or two. Perhaps it is a sign of getting older.

I saw a photo of it today, Saturday at the Lincoln train show. It was taken here in Lincoln on Thursday I believe. The idler car ahead of it has a camera mounted on it aimed back at this special load.

I was wondering the same thing. But the stenciling does say "10,000th Delivery", not the 10,000th fuselage. I doubt if Boeing the considers the ones that were damaged as "Delivered".
