I may well be the odd man out, but why on earth would I want my Delft blue portrait on a KLM plane?
I would only go along if the portrait would show me sliding down a angled WBC seat, with and expression of utter exhaustion on my face.

Dear [BonzoESC],
Your entry in our Tile & Inspire competition was selected to appear on the plane! This means that your tile together with those of almost 4000 other winners will be reproduced on a real KLM Boeing 777-200.

I got an email with a link to a personalized video showing my tile being applied to the jet. I assume that it's a computer generated video with my tile inserted into it, though. Has anyone else been able to spot their tile in real photos of the plane? I was hoping that they'd release a video of the entire tiled surface of the plane.

Also, the video is extremely choppy on my aluminum MacBook, but runs fine on my quad i5 iMac. Thanks, Flash!

Mine looks like http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9802610/Screenshots/x.png ; if yours has the same picture to the left, it's just CG'd in.

Ditto. Like someone else said, it would be cool if they posted a bunch of close-up pics of the plane so we could all find our tiles. Still, it's fun thinking that somewhere out there, my blue head is flying around at 30,000ft.
