Pic: You really need to see the plane the Brazil team will be flying in during the World Cup

No need to radio in to air traffic control to alert them of this plane’s imminent arrival, you’ll be able to see this thing coming from miles away.

No need to radio in to air traffic control to alert them of this plane’s imminent arrival, you’ll be able to see this thing coming from miles away.

Brazilian football teams have always, or nearly always, played with a bit of flair and a bit of style and been filled with flamboyant and colourful characters, so it seems fitting that the vehicle transporting them around their native land during the World Cup should be something of a reflection on their personality.

Whether this Boeing 737, painted by Brazilian brothers & graffiti artists Otavio & Gustavo Pandolfo (Os Gemeos) in collaboration with GOL Airlines, achieves that we’re not quite sure, but nobody that encounters it will pass it without giving it a second glance.

On first impressions, it looks like a gathering of Simpsons characters that became stretched during the drawing process but if it helps Luiz Felipe Scolari to get a successful and turbulence-free World Cup campaign off the ground, then you can expect to see every team do likewise for World Cups in the future.
