Southwest Airlines has (or had a few years ago) a 737 painted to look
like "Shamu" the killer whale (orca) at Sea World in San Diego.  I
think they have a few others which also have "unusual" paint jobs. 
They do a few other things differently than the rest of the airlines,
like not having any seat assignments (you get a boarding pass with a
number--first come, first served).

One of the nicest flights I ever had was on the plane America West used
for the Phoenix Suns basketball team.  It had extra leg room in several
of the rows.  Being 6'7" (200 cm) tall, I really appreciated it.
