AIR New Zealand has a new Hobbit-themed airplane and it’s headed our way.

The plane features the mythical dragon Smaug from “The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug” and is on its way to Los Angeles International Airport after being unveiled in Auckland.

I’m on my way to LAX to see if it’s as cool in person. More photos and details later.
