R2-D2 plane to spirit 'Star Wars' fans far, far away

Artist image released by All Nippon Airways on April 17, 2015 shows the airline's Boeing 787-9 aircraft painted to look like Star Wars robot R2-D2 It might not be the droid you're looking for, but a plane painted to look like R2-D2 could be the next best thing for "Star Wars" fans awaiting the franchise's reboot. Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) has unveiled a Boeing 787 Dreamliner decorated to look like the small round robot that appears in every episode with his multi-lingual sidekick C-3PO. The cockpit and front half of the white fuselage are painted with blue panels in the shape of those on the little droid who does everything from carrying secret plans for the Death Star to co-piloting Luke Skywalker's X-Wing. The legend "Star Wars", in the movie's distinctive font, adorns the body of the plane behind the wing, while the tail is in ANA's normal -- also blue -- livery.
