This could be yours. Checkout those Evergreens in the background.

We are getting close to hitting 100,000 Twitter followers, and we should celebrate! The big question I pose to you: when will it happen? Why does the “when” matter? Well, if you guess the correct date when we hit 100,000 followers, you could win a sweet airline model!

Although I wasn’t super familiar with Bad Batz-Maru before this story, I totally respect the popularity of EVA Air’s special liveries. I get the power and draw of airlines having special liveries, and so far these designs have provided real results. Not only are passenger loads higher on these special EVA aircraft, they also make a great marketing tool (we are talking about it now right?). EVA has even created a special website for people to immerse themselves in this world and also to track the special Sanrio aircraft.

WHAT YOU WIN

You could win a super sweet EVA Air (UNI Air) ATR 72-600, 1:100 scale model with Bad Badz-Maru livery. It was new in box, but I opened it and put it together to take a photo of it, but I did not play with it. Check below on how to win.

HOW TO WIN

Leave a comment, on this story, with your guess on when @AirlineReporter will hit 100,000 followers. When we hit 100,000 followers, I will look at the calendar and see what day it is (Pacific time-zone). Then I’ll go see if anyone guessed that date. If there is more than one person, I will use a random number generator to determine the winner. If no one guesses correctly, the closest will be the winner (no Price is Right rules here). You can only guess once and anyone can play (except our writers) — doesn’t matter what country you live in.

Oh yea… don’t cheat. If you do, you are out. If you need to ask “is this cheating,” the answer is “yes.” Don’t do it. I am going to close the contest when we are getting kind of close, since I don’t want a bunch of “today” when we hit 99,950 people (yea, I am watching you).

Good luck and cheers to 100,000!

A big thanks to our friends at EVA who were kind enough to give us the model to pass on to one of you.

No cost for shipping — I am paying for that out of my pocket. So, if it is far away, it is going the slow (and cheap) way :).

I am sorry but my last one, I am not happy with, so could you please change my entry to August 5th please? Thanks! By the way the entry I want you to delete is July 3rd, thanks!!!

Sorry man — love the optimism, but no changing dates! Gotta go with the first guess.

OK, I will play the game and don’t expect to win anything. Maybe it is a solemn anniversary for most of us, but could be something positive for once….

September 11, 2017

Hmm. It would be a bit awkward celebrating our 100,000 on 9/11. But my anniversary with the girlfriend is also 9/11, so I have already been adding more positivity in my life for that day.
