    Anybody else seen these winged trucks in your area?

    For those that have not seen these trucks advertising for Independence Air (regional carrier for East Coast to Midwest) - They used to drive all over the place - but I rarely see them now. Blue and White trucks with the horizontal and vertical stabilizers from the tail section of an airplane. First time I saw them - I was like WTF? - but I'd have to admit that its a pretty cool way to bring the name to market. I just wondered if anyone else seen them around or if it was just around the Dulles Airport area in NoVA.

    Ive seen the Mini one up here quite often (probably not the same one as you though, since they said they use the one here just for our region... which im sure the do the same for the one you see)

    Those Red Bull vehicles are pretty cool - just turn that Red Bull can on the back into a pumpkin launcher (cannon) and you'll won't have a problem with traffic and people cutting you off anymore.
