we flew an overnight flight on the fancy new virgin america from SFO to DC. i must say it was an extremely pleasant experience. i usually don't give a fuck about hyped up corporations trying to be hip or geeky but seriously the simple fact that we could plug our laptops in to work and watch stuff made the 5 hour flight go by fast. and they have their interactive entertainment computers running on linux. nice! soon they will have satellite wifi or so they say. too bad oil is going to run out and no one will be able to afford (economically as well as environmentally) to fly...ah the hey days of humanity....

ooo! Pretty colors :)
What was that under Jays legs? Couldnt really see.
You'd never know you were flying!
I'm not the best flier in the world, but that looks like I could be distracted enough to actually relax mid flight. And Linux! Crikey.
I wish AmTrack would do this on more of their trains. If you're on a short commuter train there's all kinds of stuff like that, but for long distance, there's shit.
loved your "kid" look seeing such a geek plain.
once a geek always a geek. ;-)
Neon lights huh....did you guys disco too?....
That's the coolest plane I've ever seen. It's like a night club in the sky.
I like your hair in this. I've heard good things about that airline, looks cool.
I found this video by accident but I recorded the same thing on first Virgin America flight in December. I had to when I saw Linux booting up.
