For many who fell in love with the dancing flight attendant on Virgin Airlines, it is the end of an era.
Virgin America Airlines was bought in 2016 by Alaska Airlines, which decided to fold Virgin into Alaska. As a result there will be no more "Safety Flight Song" and no more dancing with flight attendant and viral video star Michael Tongko-Burry.
Twitter user @hunterwalk captured what could be one of the last known performances.
Twitter was feeling the love.
