            In 2005, Alaska Airlines partnered with Alaska Fisheries to promote their wild caught salmon over farm raised fish. They repainted one of their 737-400 aircraft (N792AS) into the world's largest flying fish. Called the "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon", this aircraft was eventually repainted into the airlines traditional livery in 2011. The following year, Alaska Airlines again painted one of their 737 aircraft (N559AS) into a similar livery, this time on the 737-800 variant. This "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II" has salmon colors for it's Alaska Airlines logo on the fuselage as well as special painted scales that shimmer in the light, giving it a realistic appearance. The aircraft's livery was designed by artist Mark Boyle, who has also designed several other of Alaska's special liveries.

This repaint was made with permission from PMDG per their paint kit EULA.

Many thanks go to the team at PMDG for creating this excellent aircraft and repaint kit for Microsoft Flight sImulator.

This repaint was tested with close to Ultra settings. Appearance may vary depending on your simulator settings.
