WestJet 737 MAX 8 from build to delivery flight

On October 11, 2017, WestJet revealed our first Boeing 737 MAX aircraft at our hangar in Calgary, Alberta and then followed it with the first flight on a 737 MAX in Canada. Tail 301 (registration C-FRAX) was built at Boeing's facility in Renton, Washington. Here's a video showing the complete build from the first rivet, right up to the delivery flight.

Beautiful video, but you really should be shooting in progressive rather than interlace.

[dabooom]

2:21 can somebody explain why they pulled it over the river turned it around and pulled it back even though the runway is on this side?

[turlupouet]

Woow you build a 737 max so quickly, it is very impressive 😂

[bobbypaluga]

It sure looks pretty with the green slime washed off. I would be tempted to leave the skin silver. The paint job does look awful nice, nor get moving to Calgary. I’m very pleased WestJet stayed with their neighbors at Boeing.
