Title: Flash back to an acid trip from the 60's?
Post by: Ripsnort on February 22, 2002, 11:48:09 AM

Bizzarre paint scheme (http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid3/pfd902ee5d83ef770b1798e851a5e9ce2/fdea9fa6.jpg.orig.jpg)[/b]
A few notes to go with the picture:

The people in front of the airplane are:
Paint crew
Payloads Engineering
Tooling-template makers
QA
MR&D
Qantas representatives

quote:
"Also, the job took approximately 2000 hours; 536 rolls of two inch tape which is roughly 19.9 miles of tape.  The weight of this paint scheme is about 325 pounds.  We used about 130 mylar templates to do the layout.  This is the most complicated scheme we have done to date, and morale of that crew has never been higher."

Why? It's the same link, no?

My guess on the paint job is that it is honoring the native people of Australia.

Native? In which period of time? 100,000 years ago?(Cro-Magnun) or..200 years ago? (Convicts from Britain) :D

You don't have to be the one doing the acid Rip.  Sometimes moms aren't all they are cracked up to be.
