Virgin America Christens Its Newest Plane With A Twitter Hashtag

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Twitter hashtag! Yes, you’ll see all of those things in the sky the next time you look up at Virgin America’s newest plane. They’ve become the first company to name one of their fleet using a Twitter hashtag.

Meet #nerdbird, the hippest plane in the skies.

Announced on Friday on the Virgin America Twitter account (@VIRGINAMERICA), the #nerdbird is the 39th plane in the Virgin fleet. And they’re dedicating it to all of their social media fans.
