The Freddie Mercury plane will be the fifth that Norwegian has painted to honor a famous British person. Previous “tail fin heroes” include soccer player Bobby Moore, author Raold Dahl, pilot Amy Johnson, and entrepeneur Freddie Laker.
A spokesperson for Norwegian said, “As Norwegian continues its rapid expansion in the UK, our ‘tail fin heroes’ offer us a perfect chance to pay tribute to some of the greatest Britons of all time. Freddie Mercury inspired generations of music fans around the globe and it is a huge honour to have one of the greatest singers of all time adorn our aircraft.”
