A Special Seahawks Plane Flew All Over Washington, Because That's How Seattle Rolls

Flyin' With The Hawks

If the Super Bowl were won in the air, the Seahawks would already be champions.

Boeing decked out a 747-8 jet in Seahawks paint, with special script on the side that says "Spirit of 12s Go Hawks!" The plane took a strange flight path on Thursday-- for five and a half hours, it flew over Eastern Washington in a '12' pattern, a nod to Seahawks fans who call themselves "The 12th Man."

You can't actually ride in the plane-- Boeing decorated it as a labor of love, since the company's headquarters were in Seattle before they moved to Chicago in 2001. But oh, what a flight it was.
