Apple visionary Steve Jobs is continuing his dominance from beyond the grave -- he's now taking over the sky with the Virgin America Steve Jobs plane. Virgin America owner Richard Branson has decided to claim the cross Atlantic plane in the name of the former Apple guru.
The Virgin America Steve Jobs plane will be inscribed with the CEO's timeless quote, "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish." The plane is actually a winning idea from an employee in a plane-naming competition and is set to be in production sometime this year. The Virgin America Steve Jobs plane will endure the cross-Atlantic route, which is generally known for the tech-forward amenities it makes available on board.
