Coming to you live from Virgin America flight VX8001 at 30,398 feet!



Greetings Gadling readers! This post is coming to you live from 35,000 feet, on board Virgin America flight 8001

This special flight is full of fellow bloggers, Youtube celebs and representatives from Virgin and Aircell. The flight celebrates 2 new products; the introduction of the Gogo inflight Internet service on board Virgin America, and the launch of Youtube Live.

We took off about 25 minutes ago and I've just connected to the Wi-Fi signal. Connecting was extremely easy, and the speed of the connection is impressive. .

To give you an idea of just how much fun I am having, I've included some photos of the airborne party.

Later this afternoon, I'll post a list of products and services I tested during the flight.

Many thanks to Virgin America, Youtube and Aircell for putting together this amazing flight, it is without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in the air!

Now, if you don't mind, I have some more of these amazing Virgin America Cocktails to consume.
