All Nippon Airways brings Gundam to the skies

Nice to see you around again, kkjay77

ANA, I'd prefer to fly Zaku II over any Gundam.
And have it in red livery so that the plane can fly 3 times faster than the normal livery version.

It seems that Japan’s obsession with Gundam is limitless. What can follow after a 60-foot Gundam robot, a Gundam Cafe in Akihabara, or a 1.5m tall figure? Answer: a Gundam jet.

Bandai Namco, the company behind the cult anime robot, teamed up with Japanese airline All Nippon Airways (ANA) to paint a Boeing 777-300 with a “life-size” Gundam on one side and a Gundam logo on the other (the logo’s pictured above). The jet will fly on certain domestic routes from today till spring 2011 to mark the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Gundam model kit.

'Nuff said

Why wait for the 787 when you can fly Gundam instead?
