They haven’t finished *painting* their Astrojets! I look up, and I can still see the AA right on the V-stabiliser...
Note that I didn’t say re-painting; CRSmith had an aversion to paint, on jets...
C. R. Smith didn’t like paint because 1) it was expensive to maintain and 2) it added to the weight of the plane (remember, a fully painted plane can add several hundred pounds to the empty weight of the plane). However, with new paint formulations and the switch to using a lot of composite materials on the plane structure, that erased the advantage of unpainted planes; that’s why the current American Airlines livery is a full painted plane.
