The Alaska Airlines B737-200 DVD is another top-notch DVD! A fantastic program in every way, and a great tribute to the now-retired type. Getting to see the actual retirement flight as well as scheduled and charter operations is a real pleasure. Capt. Rex Gray especially deserves a lot of credit for his interesting commentary. All of the flight crew were fantastic, and one can see how much they really enjoyed flying the 737-200. The de-ice presentation was fascinating to observe from the truck in operation with commentary by the technician. Alaska Airlines is a great company, and everyone, from the CEO on down, should be proud of being a part of it.

What a fantastic program on the Alaska Airlines 737-200QC!!! This one has everything including a very interesting and scenic trip out to Adak Island and back with great scenery of the Aleutian Islands and their rapidly changing weather. Captain Rex Gray does some very entertaining and informative presentations with a great personality and humor. Great camera work in the cockpit and through the cabin windows giving us views from flight crew and passenger perspective. Really good presentations of the de-icing procedures, cabin reconfiguration, walkaround inspection and the cockpit. All of the Alaska personnel on this dvd give nice contributions to the program. I must mention and thank Just Planes for the free bonus dvd, "The Spirit of the Alaska 737-200", which is a beautifully presented tribute to the 737-200QC and the Alaska employees who have worked with the airplane up to its retirement in March of this year! Thank You Just Planes for these 2 wonderful dvds!!!

Well, you have done it again with this GEAT! DVD production of the Alaska Airlines 737-200. It was nice to have the introduction by the CEO of Alaska Airlines. He really gets the viewer ready for the program. The scenery of Alaska with all that snow and ice is truly an awesome sight from 32000 Feet. I very much enjoyed the Stories of Capt Gray and his Female F/O. She explained things real well as well. The other Pilots and F/Os also did a exceptional job keeping us informed of the progress of the Flights. I was very surprised to see how fast they could Re-Config the 737-200 QC. It only seemed like minutes. Seeing the De-Icing Process from the passenger view was really interesting, The view from the DE Ice Truck was awesome as well. The De Ice Tech explained things well. The Spirit of the Alaska 737-200 is also a excellent program.
It really shows that Alaska Airlines is a well run company and like a family. I look forward to my First Flight with Alaska Airlines 737-400 sometime soon, I Hope. Congrats to WAR and everyone at Alaska Airlines Crews and Staff. I would Highly recommend this program to all.

After watching this DVD on Alaska Airlines I thought to myself, what would best describe this video for other WAR viewers to read and the only thing that kept running through my mind was any one who skips out on adding this DVD to their library made a choice they might regret because folks this video is simply OUTSTANDING! Hands down my new favorite DVD out of a collection of over 60 videos. Trust me when I say this program is Awesome.

I have been up until 2am for the last week watching this DVD. I was very pleased with the ALASKA AIRLINES program. In my opinion, this is perhaps one of the best DVDs that "Just Planes - World Air Routes" has ever produced. Therefore, I look forward to watching it again and again. I would like to thank Producer Michel Moskal for all of WAR DVDs. The only complaint is that I am getting married tomorrow (August 23rd 2007) and my fiance worries about my lack of sleep and her father worries that I spend too much time watching WAR DVDs.

It is marvellous to be able to "visit" a country so far away from Northern Ireland and Just Planes DVDs make that experience very enjoyable. The Alaska Airlines 737-200 shows an airline whose standards are high but who do not forget the welfare and well being of all their staff from every department. Alaska Airlines comes across as a happy, well run airline who provide a professional service to communities within that state with the 737-200s operating into remote airfields in sometimes atrocious weather conditions. All staff shown were happy and smiling but their pride in their airline showed through above all. Just Planes DVD depicts well that professionalism of the airline by their photography, sound and contents of the DVD and I would certainly recommend this DVD.

What a wonderful set of DVD's. A great production that shows a great airline that is very proud of it's heritage. The production is incredible and just shows how successful WAR has become with these presentations. Thank you to Alaska Airlines for allowing this DVD to produced and thanks to WAR for making one of my favorites to date of the 35+ titles that I own now.

Great set for the airline I call "the little engine that could". Soon to be a 737 only operator, they can take you from Honolulu to NYC with one stop, as well as up and down the west coast, Canada, and a number of Mexican destinations. As well, they have the only nonstop LAX to Washington National. These 2 DVD's highlight their very unique Alaskan operation. Not only do you get the feel (and nostalgia) for what is about to be a memory, with the phase out of the 737-200 Combis, but you also see how vital they are to their namesake State. It's worth a look, for the sights alone.
