We all can appreciate some unique, custom liveries to gaze at from the airport window from time to time. Just yesterday, Spirit debuted its "Dumbo"-themed Airbus A321 to celebrate the premiere of Disney's new live-action take on the classic.

Clad with a blue sky of clouds, circus-themed font and the big-eared elephant himself, you can catch the aircraft (registered as: N662NK) flying from Orlando (MCO), San Juan (SJU), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Baltimore/Washington (BWI) for its first three days of service before embarking across the country for the next two months.

Spirit also posted a video of its creation on YouTube:
