A 738 this time.

"The new "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II" design is derived from an earlier version of the paint scheme Alaska Airlines unveiled on a 737-400 in 2005, which was re-painted with the carrier's traditional Eskimo livery last year. In addition to sporting the glimmering image of a wild Alaska king salmon like the original "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon," the new design is about nine feet longer and also features fish scales on the winglets and a salmon-pink colored "Alaska" script across the fuselage."

Comparing this new design to the old one, I really liked how the white text used to blend into the salmon. I'm trying to keep my mind open until I see the real plane, but I don't think the pink text matches up with the rest of the design. Either way, it will be great to see the Salmon-Thirty-Salmon back in the skies soon! :)

I really like what they did with the scales on the winglets.
