Not since the heyday of Haight-Ashbury and Jefferson Airplane has a San Francisco-themed aircraft been this trippy. The Splash blog at the San Francisco Chronicle says the Virgin America plane decorated with a San Francisco Giants logo and a Brian Wilson beard on the nose is like flying "the bearded skies." The turbulence will be delicious. It's actually kind of freaking me out (and not in a Summer of Love way), mostly because it reminds me of the "Air Israel" plane from "Airplane!" (minus the yarmulke cap device). I'm also imagining Wilson wearing his George Lopez Sea Captain's outfit into the cockpit so he can fly us all home in style. And no acid needed to be dropped for such kooky visions. It's plenty cute, but this is all related to a sponsor partnership between the G-men and Sir Richard Branson's favourite airline, which has worked out a contest that probably will break Twitter when the time comes to play. I'm wondering, though, in what other ways might the Giants airplane make passengers feel like they're at AT&T Park for a ballgame?
