Photos from the first JFK-LAS Virgin America/Entourage Air flight

$Richard Branson and Entourage cast with Virgin America\'s new Entourage Air$

As we mentioned earlier, Virgin America has started flights between New York (JFK) and Las Vegas (LAS). They unveiled their new plane Entourage Air, and passengers got to see the cast of HBO’s “Entourage” at the unveiling of the plane as well as view a screening of the show’s first episode of the season in-flight.

My friend Grant Martin from Gadling is on the flight and kindly sending us pics. I’ll add more photos to this post as they come in. If you want the play by play of the event, check out @Jaunted on Twitter where Mark Johnson is live-blogging his experience.

Grant said cast members showed up and spoke for just a few minutes and then left. They will not be on the flight, but of course Sir Richard Branson will be.

[Update: Or not...Grant told me this morning (Friday): Branson never made it on the flight, but we and the VA crew and staff partied at the Playboy Club all night last night.
