Painting "OVER" their logo, and the big red letters "Air Canada" stretching along the length of the fuse... Like with a roller & house paint! (!) Obvious and sickening... Offical press... "It's not our aircraft anymore" (insurance company owns it... Yeah... right..

There was a story this week about how minute score lines are propagating into cracks, with potentially disastrous results.

Then the problem seems to be that the word doesn't get down to the chippers (where have we heard that before?), who either prefer the efficiency of sharp-edged implements or aren't provided proper tools and supervision by their cheapskate overlords.

One of the more effective ways to remove paint from an A/C is to apply a non-corrosive water soluble stripper followed by use of crushed pecan shells mixed with water used by devices resembling Sand blasters. This also removes surface corrosion. Have seen C-130's, C-141's, & C-5's taken to bare metal in 4, 8, & 24 hours respectively using 2 crews on C-130's, 4 crews on C-141's, & 10 crews on C-5's.
