I haven't heard anything from the company about a Simpson's themed aircraft.

It was right in the official press release:


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.

Thanks for posting that, I was looking on our company page and didn't see anything about a Simpson's aircraft.

:eek:Sorry about that, I must have skipped over that PR. I'm in Europe, and the computers I've been using are too slow!

Now is finally my chance to really fly on a special themed aircraft so I'm excited! The only one I recall flying on was with Southwest FLL-MCO a few years ago. I wonder if it will be on the 190 or 320...if anyone sees pics of this plane when she is out of painting, please post!

has anyone flown on 100th Jet Blue jet yet with the unique tail design?


I think I saw it at JFK a week ago on my way to Boston, but I'm not 100% sure... I kind of caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye, and I wasn't sure if it was the dots design or the 100th plane design.


which special themed Southwest flight were you on?


there was a PR photo in one of the recent articles on Southwest with a cool plane design, where only the tail had the traditional Southwest theme to it but the rest of the plane looked like the flag of California... that is neat.

I loved the Simpsons episode where they flew "Air Delaware" to Wilmington! As someone who once lived in the First State I found it hilarious!

This seems like a disappointing promotion. Apart from buttons on the Flight Attendant's uniforms and themed napkins, there's very little going on.

The Simpsons channel still hasn't found its way to a seat back TV as of 7/14.

Huh? I watched it on Friday afternoon (7.13) JFK-JAX and enjoyed my two episodes quite nicely.

I saw it on the TVs on 07/01 as I was working and then watched on my commute. So I know they where on there, maybe not working on the aircraft you rode on?

Woo-Hoo, JetBlue!
 
Here's an article with a cool picture just recently released...

You're probably right. It was just frustrating getting stuck in a middle seat at 7 AM with a rather large gentleman about a third of the way into my seat for most of the flight. I was jonesing for some Simpsons on that flight. :)

I agree! 4 jetBlue flights in the last week and watching the Simpsons "channel" was great fun. I only wish there were Dunkin Donuts doughnuts in the snack basket to complete the experience :D
