    Ever wish you could go online on those long holiday cross-county flights? Wish no more because it has come true! Earlier this week, Virgin America launched its first Wi-Fi enabled plane with Gogo Inflight Internet and the first ever "air-to-ground" video stream to YouTube Live €“ YouTube's first official real-world user event. Virgin America's Wi-Fi enabled plane circled the skies 35,000 feet above San Francisco with special guests, media, and all-star bloggers testing out Gogo on laptops, smartphones and PDAs. Also onboard, Los Angeles DJ Jesse 'BoyToy' Lozano did a live broadcast while NBC 30 Rock stars Katrina Bowden and Keith Powell performed a live "YouTube Air" skit streamed to the YouTube Live audience on the ground and on-line. The Wi-Fi enabled aircraft will be flying all over the U.S. as a Thanksgiving surprise to guests, and by 2009, Virgin America will be the first U.S. carrier to offer fleet-wide inflight internet!

But apparently that wasn't enough for owner Richard Branson, as they are now rolling out a campaign touting the fact that every seat has its own electrical outlet!

    After flying from New York to Los Angeles on Virgin America's super-sexy new plane with a half dozen Victoria's Secret supermodels in their pajamas, its really impossible to ever fly some normal, blah airline with a bunch of normal-bodied, non-supermodel passengers ever again. It would just be too depressing. So, from now on its trains, boats, and hot air balloons for me. But it was so worth it.
