A Boeing 747-8 painted in Seattle Seahawks flew a special flight path over Eastern Washington to salute the team.
On Jan. 30 a Boeing 747-8 Freighter painted in Seattle Seahawks livery took off from Boeing Field and landed at Paine Field in Everett 5:30 hour later.
The wide body, flying as “BOE 12” drew a “12” across Eastern Washington State: a special salute to the NFL franchise that will play against the Denver Broncos during the Super Bowl game at the MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, this Sunday.
