Default Boeing 747-400 Out of Production Models

So how does a paint job cause a crash exactly? AND SHOW YOUR WORK!


That was not the reason they discontinued the paint scheme, and repainted
all of the ones that were painted like that.

It was superstition on the public's part. It was said to look like a
Chinese funeral banner, whatever that means.

It is like the Asian preference for color of paint on limos. A white limo
is said to have bad luck, or represent death, or something like that, or did
I get the colors backwards.

Anyway, the superstition runs deep in that neck of the woods.
