Spice Girls Unveil Winning Name Of Plane

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― That's one Spicy plane. The Spice Girls have unveiled the new name of a Virgin Atlantic jumbo jet: Spice One.

As part of a promotion for their reunion tour, they selected three names and let online voters decide which one would grace the Boeing 747.

The losing names were Spice Girl and Girl Power.

Voter Diogo Yomane from Brazil won a contest and joined the Spice Girls at the ceremony at Los Angeles International Airport, according to the group's Web site.

The Spice Girls got their start with Virgin's record label, which released their single "Wannabe" in 1996. They broke up in 2001 after selling more than 55 million records but reunited earlier this month for their first tour since 1999.
