Oman Air 737 Max cancellation ?
Oman Air's #omanair next 737 Max frame due, A4O-ML (LN 7707), has seemingly been painted in full Boeing company 'light' livery from my observations. However, it is still sporting Oman Air winglets. I currently have no answers for why this frame is painted in the Boeing company livery when the 737-8 test program has long since been completed. It is not the former test frame #3 LN 5728 N8703J which was in the same livery and also at BFI, as this has been in full Southwest Airlines livery since the summer.

169550 P-8A US Navy
I'm aware that a photo has recently been uploaded of a US Navy P-8A at the MFC at BFI wearing serial number 169550. I will check the data in the next few days but I have a strong suspicion it is 169573 re-serialled as 169550 would be the next sequential number for LN 7462 following on from169549 on LN 7359. Boeing docs did show 169573 for LN 7462 and there is also photo proof of it wearing that at RNT back in early May.
Edit Oct12 : this frame was indeed renumbered to 169550 at BFI and delivered as such. Earlier blog posts amended.
