Howdy, I've been looking all over, and I can't seem to find any discussions on the relative visibility of various colors for aircraft. I would guess that the best color might be different when viewed against the sky or the ground. From flying RC models, I have find that yellow stands out the best. Even in twilight I can track a plane from the open sky to below the tree line. -ash Cthulhu for President! Why vote for a lesser evil? |

I haven't heard anyone comment on an unpainted (silver) metal plane.
Any thoughts on if it is easier or harder to see than a painted one?

My personal experience is that they show up well on sunny days and disappear on grey days.

Black is the best. The RAF did a study. They're now painting all their
trainers black. Paul wrote in message ... I've been looking all over, and I can't seem to find any discussions on the relative visibility of various colors for aircraft. |
