Flying fish redux

The Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II. Alaska Airlines image

Remember a few years back when Alaska Airlines painted a jet as a giant Alaska Chinook salmon?

Well, the Seattle-based carrier and the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute have teamed up to do it again.

I'm so Surprised!...It's not the Pollock! Are they passing the hat, while onboard, for their protection?...Or, is the AFA piloting this Promo?...All Trawlers/Cannery Management personnel are getting Double-Award-Air-Miles this Trip, for Sure!

The Hat of course returning to First-Class so the Fat Cats can have Free Spirits!

I agree the spotting pattern is that of a Atlantic Salmon not a Chinook.(King Salmon)

Al, where's the darned arrowtooth

I know you had a rendition of a tanner crab as well, correct?

Say what you want but this first plane was what they brought my father home to Valhalla for his funeral. I believe in divine coincidences but wow.

It was a privilege and a pleasure to serve with Senate President Ben Stevens, UFA Marketing Chair Bruce Schactler, oh, heck, I'm not going to name the whole board. But you are making Stevens money years after he died if you fish just about any species in Alaska.

Just the facts. King Ted lives on .

Bobby t, for the first time and most likely only time, I agree with you on one point-Bruce Schactler is great for Alaskan seafood, and works like a dog for us. Keep logging those air miles, man!

I was thinking that it looked like one of those scrawny hatchery steelhead snakes.
