George Herman Ruth, Jr., one of the most famous American baseball players, was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1895. At the age of seven, Ruth was sent to a Catholic reform school, and it was there that he developed a passion for baseball. Ruth was offered a spot on the Baltimore Orioles after owner Jack Dunn took notice of him in high school and signed him to the team in 1914. While playing with the Orioles, Ruth, 19, was referred to as “Jack’s newest babe,” by fellow players — a name by which he would be known for the remainder of his career.

– Babe Ruth is an American icon and an inspiration to many people worldwide, so when it came time to select our next American tailfin hero, it seemed fitting to pay homage to America’s pastime and someone who is known for never giving up, said Thomas Ramdahl, Norwegian’s Chief Commercial Officer.

– Like Babe Ruth, Norwegian is persistent and has received many accolades. Over the last few years, we’ve been tenacious in our pursuit to bring more affordable flights to the United States and fulfill our mission to allow everyone to fly affordably.”

Since its founding, Norwegian has celebrated iconic and historical figures on the tails of its aircraft. Each of these people share Norwegian’s spirit of pushing boundaries, inspiring others and challenging the status quo. Previously announced American tailfin heroes include Clara BartonSojourner Truth and Benjamin Franklin. The airline recently took delivery of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring Babe Ruth, the twelfth aircraft of its type in Norwegian’s ever-growing fleet.
