news:fnF2c.1824$re1.544@newsfe1-win... No shots fired. :-) Do you have a reference for the study? I remember the RAF Tornados getting painted black all over some years ago after similar studies. Presumably they get repainted before going into action. Most of the RAF training fleet is now black. The Tornado GR4s are being painted black too. Tornados tended to get painted for the job at hand. For desert camouflage during Desert Storm they were painted in this colour: http://www.flyingzone.co.uk/tornadoi...stormunits.htm RAF black: http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/hawk.html http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/tucano.html http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/griffin.html http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/ssquirrel.html I'd hesitate to paint a GA aircraft dark on top unless it was going to spend most of its time in the shade. Mine seems to survive ok out in the sun. Ok, it's based near Andover in Hampshire rather than Arizona. I've even got a black cover for it. My plane: http://makeashorterlink.com/?P6D3256A7 Grey was seen to be the low visibility scheme. Paul
