Alaska Airlines' "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon" is shown in flight Friday. The freshly repainted Boeing 737 was scheduled to make its first flight to Anchorage today.
Air-brush artist Chris Coakley sprays a special mix of salmon pink as he works Sept. 23 at Goodrich Aviation Technical Services in Everett painting an Alaska Airlines 737, now called the "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon," to look like a giant king salmon. A team of 30 painters worked 24 days adorning the jet with the shimmering image. The average 737 takes about a week to paint.

After a flight with the Alaska Governor on board, the pilot discovered an obviously expensive fountain pen where the Gov was sitting. When he tried to return it the Governor insisted he keep it. A pen he saved is a pen he earned.
