The Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board gave Alaska Airlines a $500,000 grant to paint the jet.
It is a Boeing 737-490 named the 'Salmon Thirty Salmon'.

30 people worked on that paintjob for 24 days almost non-stop, and more than a mile of tape was used.

AlaskaAirlines has a few other goodies as well:
