Air Drake?
Scroll Right Scroll Left

These days, with heightened airport security--not to mention the fact that Toronto just hosted the G20 summit of international leaders--it's rare that a large commercial airport lets a flight disembark passengers directly on the tarmac instead of at a gate. Somebody at Virgin America was apparently able to pull the requisite strings.

The Airbus A320 was christened "Air Drake" after pop sensation du jour Drake, a Toronto native who was on board the flight (and chilled in first class for most of it). That's his face plastered near the tail; no word on whether the airline plans to keep it around.
