What Were Alaska Airlines' First Jetliners?

Alaska Airlines has a proud history of flying jets that goes back to 1961, when competitors like Pan Am, Northwest, and another regional carrier, Pacific Northern, started introducing Boeing 707s and Convair 880s. Alaska Airlines, seeing that the Convair 880 could carry 110 passengers at 470–534.5 kn (870–990 km/h) at altitude, decided to buy one.
