Did anyone else notice that cool as hell paintjob on that ASG32Mi For Sale on Wings and Wheels?
That is Nice.
I'd love for my plane to look like THAT!
Plain white is so boring.

That's a pretty sweet looking paint job but red would be more visible
than gray.Â* But...Â* I think the owner was going for good looks rather
than visibility and he achieved that goal.

I've got quite a bit of time in Tom Bjork's ASH-30mi.Â* And while these
beautiful super ships have performance advantages all over my Stemme,
they just can't compare to the pleasure of flying my big boat with a
friend or loved one right next to me.Â* And before I'd spend the cash for
such a super paint job, I'd have to spend the time to clean the poor
thing up.Â* It's too cold now in the mountains of New Mexico and, when it
warms up, I'll be spending my time flying! :-D

Possibly, the gray is also for temperature reasons - to keep the skin cooler,
compared a darker color.

Priced for immediate sale at 280K euro. Combine that with a weak euro,
and it could be yours.

Would be interesting to know why it's up for sale less than a year after
it was built. Spent more time in the paint booth than in the air.

Nick,

I wanted something other than white too. I went with an off white cream with dark blue trim.
