With Nationwide being one of the initial investors, makes me wonder if Skybus is painting the planes "in honor" of those investors meeting a certain quota.
This could seem to be an "advertising" move to attract new investors - not necessarily just generate advertising revenue.

Jump to postAccording to FlightTrack Live! it appears that the A388 is now officially over US Soil for the first time.
Looks like it crossed over the northeastern border of Maine at approximately 11:00am EST.
Flightaware recognizes the aircraft and has the flight number listed as of 10:25 Eastern time.
They don't have the live tracking available yet, however.
