    Salmon-Thirty-Salmon - enough to give your children nightmares

    I know it's meant to represent the abiding love afair between Alaska and a type of fish, but really, if you saw this giant piscine image looming at you through the window of an aircraft or terminal building then you'd run away screaming. Anyway, Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II - as Alaska airlines is calling its nightmare-provoking Boeing 737-800 - landed at Anchorage last week. The intricate paint job "celebrates the partnership of Alaska Airlines and the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute", says the press release, and replaces a similarly-liveried 737-400 which has now been repainted.
