Imagine for a moment that you are a salmon. Not just that...a salmon that can see hear and understand everything going on...just like you can now.

Then imagine seeing this plane. It's like GENOCIDE dude!!! Come to Alaska in a plane painted as a salmon and kill kill kill the salmon!!!!!

Then imagine you are a cockroach...in the same light. Then watch a Raid commercial.

Sadaam lives in all of us!

hehe

(yea...I'm in a weird mood...must be Monday)

$500,000 to paint it, out of a federal grant.

Fascinating.

Yet people call ME crazy for saying that government is too big...

Umm.. I guess the the plane is really packed with seats if the image of canned fish is so strong that they had to label it.

It's cool but I don't get why they didn't paint it totally 3D. The nose of tha salmon should be the nose of the plane. Right now its 2D on a 3D surface and is ALMOST 3D.

Yeah, more like this:

I thought this thread was going to be about a new STAR, but I an not disapppointed. Thats an attractive aircraft. I took off a few weeks ago from King County Internation/Boeing (great museum, 190D-13, SR-71 & ton of other great aircraft) field behind the 1st ever 737, true jets & all, it was ugly compared to this one.

I'd love to see it emerging from low IFR on final approach

If the salmon travels like that, just imagine the spawning season!:eek:

The paint job is part of a $500,000 promotion, the paint job did not cost $500K on it's own.

It is kinda cool!!
