Bar Refaeli is all over the news this week.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that she was chosen to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2009.  Another perk is that Bar’s bikini clad likeness will temporarily wrap the sides of a particular Southwest Airlines 737 for the next month.

Dubbed the SI One 737, the Southwestern Airlines narrow bodied jet airliner sat on the tarmac at LaGuardia yesterday while photographers took advantage of the photo op with the hot Israeli model.  They even captured photos of the gorgeous on again, off again girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio while she held up the SI swimsuit issue, which was hot off the presses.

The day didn’t end here.  Bar went on to the SI Swimsuit Launch Party which was attended by all of the swimsuit models and then headed over the guest on The David Letterman Show.  Check out photos and video here.

More photos below and the SI photo shoot video of Bar.
