Strange Realisations...

...from some of my recent travels.



JAL Cargo 747s are mostly unpainted. Now, I know there are good economic reasons for this, in terms of increased fuel economy, and reduced air conditioning requirements, but...

...is it just that they're shiny because they'll be full of shiny high-value high-tech toys?

Perhaps they really should plaster them in blue LEDs as well...
