...fly in the rain!


Of course, if you do it often enough, and the rain is hard enough, it'll
take your paint right off, too...


Is an Arrow fast enough to do that? Back when I was learning to fly, I
would see a lot of Bonanzas with the paint stripped from the leading
edges, from cruising through rain.

Arrow bashing aside, I've lost paint from rain on every leading edge
surface other than my wing leading edge... and I'm even slower than that
arrow. Paint quality definitely plays a role, that is, lack of it.
