Brid: Alaska Airlines nets the world's largest King Salmon

Alaska Airlines nets the world's largest King Salmon

Boing 737 is painted with a gigantic King Salmon for promoting the Alaska fishing Industry with a "Salmon Thirty Salmon".

The “Salmon-Thirty-Salmon,” sporting the glimmering image of a wild Alaska king salmon, is among the world’s most intricately painted commercial airplanes. Complete with shiny scales, a dorsal fin and gills, the livery on the Alaska Airlines 737-400 passenger aircraft is the result of a dedicated team of 30 painters working nearly nonstop for 24 days.

The airplane symbolizes the critical role Alaska Airlines plays in transporting fresh Alaska seafood to the continental United States and beyond. The paint scheme was produced in partnership with the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board (AFMB), which promotes the export of Alaska seafood.[via]
