To show off their new bird, they flew her to each of their hubs. The plane was in Cleveland, Newark, and Houston late last week. Since we’re big dorks when it comes to stuff like this, we're excited to see the snazzy new paint job, but bummed that we missed checking it out in person. Who doesn't enjoy watching a new plane get a shower from the airport fire department?

Although the exterior of the plane is all shiny, we immediately began to wonder if this new plane's interior is equipped with the airline’s new DirecTV service. Unfortunately, we can’t confirm if the plane will meet your A/V dreams and desires, but this type of plane is the first to get the service—so if it doesn’t have it yet, it’ll have it by September. Just keep checking here for updates.

For now, how about Continental shooting us over some $75 fares so that passengers can properly celebrate their birthday as well?
