Stay tuned here for updates from the White Knight 2 rollout event. We'll be posting media and info as we get it.

I should probably point out that the other popular picture of the Virgin America airplane named 'my other ride's a spaceship' is a regular member of their fleet, which I rode on a few weeks ago ;)
