Now that's what I call a party plane!

Kenny Chesney celebrated his 55th birthday in style, and he took his fellow country crooner Kelsea Ballerini along for the ride!

The "American Kids" singer rang in a new year on March 26, throwing a post-show party on a late-night flight with his bandmates—including drummer Nick Buda, who turned 49 on the same day—and the "Peter Pan" songstress, bringing a whole new corner to the party bus market.

The whole crew took a break from the festivities to pose for a somewhat chaotic photo on the narrow plane, where 11 of them crammed in together across the two-seater width.

Chesney knelt front and center in the aisle, throwing up a "rock on" hand sign as he appeared to shout something at the photographer.

Music video director Shaun Silva leaned into the frame in the bottom left corner, though his attention was captured by something behind the camera.

Ballerini, 29, leaned over the back of one of the seats, laughing as she looked on at Chesney's antics.

Several others lifted their beer bottles in a toast, mimicked Chesney's hand sign or threw up their first in celebration for the photo, making it clear that every single one of them was having the time of their lives..

"One fun, late night birthday plane ride after our State College, PA show with @KelseaBallerini," Chesney wrote in the caption. "What a blast. What a tour! And happy birthday also to my drummer @nickbuda. Love ya man!! #IGOBACKTOUR"

"Cheers to another trip around the sun! 🥳,' the official No Shoes Nation account wrote in response.

Fans also flooded the comments with birthday wishes and excitement for their own upcoming tour stops.

"Penn State show was incredible!" one wrote, referencing the show just before the flight. "Happy Birthday and thanks for the great Saturday night! 👏🔥"

"Happy birthday to my birthday twin KC! See you at Mohegan Sun in two weeks!" another commented.

"Can’t wait for OKC!!! Please play island boy for me!! I’m a STX neighbor!!" wrote a third.

Several of his bandmates also shared Chesney's post on their own social media accounts, with Buda adding, "I can’t say enough about how much I love this band, this road family and @kennychesney. I continue to be blown away by the love. Thank you. And happy birthday KC. We’re going to have many more of these together," and Silva writing, "@kennychesney knows how to celebrate life and has shown me and so many others how to do the same. Embrace every year, moment and day you have with those around you! May this year be yet another adventure filled chapter in your book of life!"

Chesney even shared a video taken at the show, thanking the massive crowd "for the birthday song."
