DG> Nobody gave an "F"? ;) The photo indeed was silly but in most cases the names of the company are merely stickered on. It's like a day or two work because otherwise the paint had to be scraped off again and get a new expensive treatment. Personally I find it a missed occasion for Cathay. That plane would've become an icon, photographed everywhere, free publicity worth a fortune. \%/@rd --- D'Bridge 3.99 SR33 * Origin: AVIATION HQ (2:292/854) |
