It probably isn't a bird and it definitely isn't Superman. As one of the fastest modes of transportation, airplanes are a common part of the world's everyday scenery.\nWith distinctive colors and artistic designs on the wings and tail, it's easy to see which planes belong to which companies. But large commercial jets also provide ample space for various kinds of promotions, often taking the mostly blank hull of the aircraft and turning it into a flying billboard.\nSee also: WestJet Christmas Surprise Will Make You Believe in Santa\nIf a particular company, team or group has a large enough following, chances are its likeness has appeared on an airplane. Hello Kitty, the Boston Red Sox and even Mickey Mouse have been featured on aircraft.
