From USA Today: "To maintain the planes' polished-metal look, American is turning to paint. It must because aircraft makers are turning to carbon composites rather than metal to make their planes. And they require paint."

Boring! But then the unpainted look is not something American could keep. Sad, because if was an awesome thing.; January 18, 2013 at 8:08 PM
