NEW YORK, July 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways Corporation
(Nasdaq:JBLU), in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox, today
announced it has been named "The Official Airline of Springfield" --
the hometown city of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson -- to
celebrate the summer theatrical release of The Simpsons Movie. In honor
of America's favorite animated family of comedy, the low-fare,
high-frills airline will unveil its first-ever specialty aircraft,
christened "Woo-Hoo, JetBlue!" and featuring an image of Homer along
with a permanent logo of the airline's new Springfield status.

Anyone know what aircraft it is?

I'm surprised that they haven't made any special schemes sooner. Perhaps the new Barger Blue will truly allow the airline to take on a new image?

Sounds Great!!
I can't wait to see it!

I'd imagine this would be on an A320 since it would see more destinations then an E-190 would.

Is this JBU's first attempt at a "special scheme?

I hope it's more significant than those tiny "Wright Flight" and "Big Papi" decals Delta has stuck on a couple of planes yet made a big deal out of. I'm disappointed they didn't include a photo of the plane with the press release. I've looked all over online and can't find one.

Something like Western Pacific's Simpson's plane would be awesome!

JETBLUE IS THE BEST

Now, sort of off topic, but not quite.

Apparently 7-11 is now the official Kwik-E-Mart, because I went in there to get a Slurpee, first off Simpsons stuff everywhere... But this is really cool. I didn't get a Slurpee, I got a Squishee!!! It was awesome, it even said KWIK-E-MART instead of 7-11 on the cup. Tehehehe

EDIT, from Wikipedia.. Apperently you guys have a full Kwik-E-Mart, someone should go get pictures!

In July 2007, convenience store chain 7-Eleven converted 11 of its stores in the United States and one in Canada into Kwik-E-Marts for promotion of The Simpsons Movie, which will be released worldwide on July 27, 2007. The promotion had long been rumored, but the locations were kept a secret until the morning of July 1, when the 12 stores were made over with industrial foam.[2]

These 12 locations, as well as the majority of other North American 7-Elevens, will sell products found in The Simpsons, such as "Buzz Cola", "Krusty-O's" cereal, "Squishees", "Pink Movie Donuts" and other Simpsons-themed merchandise. The Squishees are basically Slurpees and sold in special collector cups and the Krusty-O's are made by Malt-O-Meal.[3] Several other 7-Eleven items, such as sandwiches, are being sold in Simpsons-themed packaging.[2] Another item is "Radioactive man Comic Book Edition #711", a special edition of the Radioactive Man series made by Bongo Comics.[4]

It was decided that Duff Beer would not be sold due to the movie being rated PG-13, and the promoters wanted to have "good, responsible fun,"[2] though it was noted that it was a tough decision.[2]

The locations of the renovated Kwik-E-Marts are: Bladensburg, Maryland/Washington DC; Burbank, California; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Henderson/Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles, California; Mountain View/San Francisco, California, New York, New York; Orlando/Lake Buena Vista, Florida; Seattle, Washington and Vancouver/Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.[2]
