1169406 2011-01-14 09:02:00 Sorry, it was a bit obscure :o

One of the most famous planes painted all black was the one with a white Rabbit Ears on the tail. Hugh Hefner's private corporate DC9, I think. Google ''when stewardesses were hot and jets were cool by Hugh hefner".

1169408 2011-01-15 20:11:00 I thought a black Aircraft would burn more fuel. (I.E. increase the air conditioning required to cool the inside.) porkster (6331)
1169409 2011-01-15 21:06:00 It does.

Also black paint is heavier than the current livery, so that adds to the cost as well.

But it's one plane out of an entire fleet...

1169410 2011-01-15 21:57:00 At 30 odd thousand ft where these aircraft fly and the outside air temp is say -30 degrees they wouldn't need the a/c turned on so high to heat the aircraft as the sun would do it for them so they would use less fuel.

I posted this one last year, you must have missed it.
