The Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board and Alaskan Airlines have gone into a joint venture to promote the sale of fresh seafood from Alaska. Essentially, the plane is a flying billboard for fresh Alaskan seafood.
Alaska Airlines paid for $75,000 of the paint job. The total cost was in the range of $300,000. The remainder of the tab was picked up by American taxpayers.

A friend of mine paints widebodies at the Boeing plant here in Seattle, and from what I remember, a typical paint job costs about $500,000 I beleive. Of course it goes up as the detail increases.
Apparently Air Canada tails are what they hate the most. It uses something like 7 or 8 layers to complete. I don't recall the price tag on that scheme though.

How much of the cost was kickbacks and graft off the taxpayer's back? That paint job is disgusting. What next? An advertisement for condoms?
