More of a poke at the fixed wing, FG. I do like high contrast colors for airframes though. Safer. Everyone sees the pastel or "live wire" colors in the pattern. Why everyone is stuck on white is beyond me.

I had plane once. Rared back and gave it a good heave but it struck a tree then slammed to the ground then the dog pounced in it and tore it to smithereens (there's one for the funny sayings thread) and then there were thousands (ok maybe hundreds) of itty bitty styrofoam pieces all over the yard.

Ok ok no more plane talk.
It's still too wet to do work around here. However the grass jumped up and turned green. I need to go check to see if the winter grass has come in tomorrow.

Remind me never to fly with you! :laughing:
Any pilot site would not be deemed "family friendly"! The busiest areas would be "performance" and "dirty jokes" threads! :yes:

I found out something working with pilots to develop ground school courses. You can have 6 pilots all saying the same thing and fighting because they all say the others are all wrong. I swear to you they all can say the same thing 6 different ways and almost come to blows fighting over who is right.

Well,, a deep hole in the ground you get water out of.. But that's not why I am here this morning.. It's raining again here on the gulf coast.. So the cutting of the pasture will have to wait.. You would think I am a federal worker.. am just shutting down.:laughing:. Lou

White is the coolest color for the insides of the plane. Dark paint jobs sitting out in the hot sun can raise the temperature enough to unleash all sorts of grimlins from the heat. I've worked on white, 727 freighters that had been closed up all day. We would open them at 8pm or so for a 10:30 launch. We would fire up the APU to cool down the plane because it was over 120 degrees inside.
Forget to cool down the plane before the Captain gets there and you'll have an arm load of log book writeups the next morning.
Oh yeah............some composite aircraft can have their structural integrity compromised by non-white paint jobs because of the heat.
