Aleksandra Mir has parked her giant inflatable airliner in front of the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but recently in Zurich it had the chance to pull up to the gate like the big boys.

As Mark said, there’s something strangely anthropomorphic about a giant, slightly-cartoony helium aircraft balloon going up, seen here at Flughafen Zürich. I love this almost as much as I love the word flughafen. Bring it to the US! [Aleksandra Mir via Like Cool]
