Seen just days after Icelandair resumed it's KEF-MSP route, arriving on runway 12R while a thunderstorm occurs in the background. MSP was one of the first routes for Icelandair that went beyond the US East Coast, with flights beginning in the 1990s. 757s operated this flight for decades as did 767s up until 2019, but with it's post-pandemic resumption, a mix of 737MAXs and 757s are set to operate the MSP flights now. I do wish these MAX jets got the old livery with the blue belly.
