Boeing 747-400 Out of Production Models

These livery were discontinued on Singapore Airlines after they caused
flight SQ 006 to crash. Last model produced in 2000. Truly limited
edition.

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


Well, one way is not to balance the flight controls after a repaint. I know
of one Bonanza lost that way.

AKAIK that airplane was lost due to a runway collision of some sort. Wrong
runway? In OZ, maybe?
Maybe it was painted the same as the jungle.
