Carbon fiber doesn't handle UV too well. The epoxy/urethane resins or the CF itself doesn't like exposure and a plane at cruising altitude will be bombarded with lots of UVA/UVB.

Alexander Calder gives a whole new meaning to flying the colors...

A team of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists helped to create its extremely colorful designs.

I read an article recently about the alleged identity of the Alaska "Eskimo"...is that even a socially-acceptable way of describing someone?!?
I doubt that any one with a life would care even an Inuit.
I agree. Way too much worry on "socially acceptable" these days.


Agree 100%. I'm so sick and tired of all of this, "socially acceptable" nonsense. This all reminds me of the liberals who got cramps over the Washington Redskins. I'm just glad they ignored them. Rather than cave in to all the stupid, politically correct nonsense.

My high school teams are all called Bombers...have been since WWII. I just keep waiting for some twit to complain that it's "warlike" or "bellicose" or some other nonsense.

And the Notre Dame Fighting Irish name and leprechaun have come under fire for being racist toward Irish people...big article in the WSJ recently.

That was quick...Lufthansa is already changing the color...apparently the blue is so dark that it looks black on overcast days...apparently only two planes are in the new livery and they realized quickly there was an issue.

Just sent an email off to their Field Service Rep (FSR) to get his take on this.
