The Dita Von Teese airplane celebrates the 10th anniversary of [Virgin Airways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virgin-atlantic-1)' direct London to Las Vegas flights. Sir Richard Branson isn't one for understatements so he decided have the side of a [Boeing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-credit-card) 777 painted with Von Teese's figure for the flight. What else would be appropriate?

The burlesque queen herself showed up at the event and had her share of fun by dancing on one of the things. Click through the gallery for these outrageous photos of the sexiest plane to ever fly.
