| Thought you artists might get a kick out of Alaska Airlines new livery. It's called, no kidding, the "Salmon Thirty Salmon". |

That is funny.
I just saw it on the news tonight and was telling my wife I need to let Exxman see and possibly paint this new bird. I saw what the real thing looks like. VERY, VERY COOL.
Exxman, got some free time, hint, hint. :wink:

| They've been featuring this scheme for awhile now over here in Seattle. I have seen it myself and I must say it represents us over here very well. Alaska Air has done a great job organizing this livery. |

Sorry if I'm mistaken but
I read a article about this
paint and the reason why
the paint is like this
is because there was a
time where alaska airlines
had a salmon hit their cockpit window
during flight, and the pilots
think this happend because a
eagle was carring a salmon
and may have accidentaly
droped it........
once in a life time huh |

| That's very possible, though happens rarely. But the salmon falling on a cockpit window must have been disturbing! |

the plane was on takeoff so it wasn't very high
at the moment when the salmon hit the plane
plus they made an emergency landing right after the hit |
