We provide combinatorial proofs of two hook generating functions for skew plane partitions. One proof involves the Hillman-Grassl (1976) algorithm and the other uses a modification of Schutzenberger's (1963,1977) ''jeu de taquin'' due to Kadell (to appear). We also provide a bijection showing directly that these two generating functions are equal. Analogous results for skew shifted plane partitions are proved. Finally, some open questions are discussed.
