I seem to recall that Alaska bought the former Western, and onetime PNA, small fleet of non-fan engine Boeing 720s in the early 1970s, so I will guess one of these returning to its old stamping grounds. Alaska didn't buy any new aircraft for many years around this time, just making secondhand purchases, and leasing aircraft in for the summer high season.
