    Good question. Also how long normally until a repaint is needed?

    Do you know the approx cost of repainting an aircraft? (am thinking in terms of A320/B737 size) Would love to see EI bring out a Retro Livery on a A320 for their 75th anniversary.

    For all of the following, Ill ask my friend here (he worked in the painting dept for 8 years) on monday, until then, I can give you what i think is the correct answer

    Im pretty sure they're masked out and painted on. I was in at a 747-400 earlier which was bare naked aluminium and the tail was only half sanded off. (the tail is like fibre glass or something so it takes a while and is difficult to strip of pain)

    Sorry totally OT, but just out of curiosity:

    Is there such a thing like degreasing the airframe before the paint application or sanding between the coats?
    And one more thing what make of paints are you using?

    not OT, have you SEEN a 747-400 tail vertical stabiliser up close??...it's MASSIVE surface area to cover. besides, a friend whos doing it now for 8 years told me this and he had to submit reports with this info on it.

    and yes, they use a degreaser. it's a paint softener (not stripper) it's called aerobrite or briteall or something (can't remember exactly). it's applied to the aluminium before painting to degrease and therefore maximise adhesion between aluminium and paint.

    usually that paint softener (i'll also find out what it's called on monday) is only applied to the fuselage and the wings are only sanded down. this is for financial reasons but if alot of corrosion is found on the wings, then they too will be treated with the paint softener.

    make of paint....no idea. I'll find out

    NORMALLY, a commercial airplane has a decheck either every 8 or 10 years (depending on model) in this time, a complete overhaul is carried out. it's incredably thourough, the window are poped out and inspected, the entire plane is stripped down to its fuselage. NORMALLY, painting is only carried out during this process while the plane is grounded. But then there's the VIPs who request more frequent paint jobs and planes from gulf states sometimes need to come in early due to corrosion. For example, Colonel Gedaffy's (spelling?) plane is in at the moment for decheck and the thing is seriously riddled with corrosion due to sahara sands which accelarate the corrosive process.

    but 8 or 10 years as standard


    I have no idea about the cost of repainting! i'll ask on monday.


    hope this satisfies your curiousity for now, until monday it will have to suffice. PM me if I forget to post up.

    Yeah have to say that part of world is probably float plane capital of the world. For anyone that has never flown floats, you don'tknow what you are missing :D
    Did you just fly or did you drop into anywhere ?
    If you fly up along the inside passage between Vancouver Island and the mainland you can sometimes spot killer whales going through.
    Sadly all I ever saw was kayakers and the odd Bald Eagle.

    Hey guys.Heres a few i took while on a cross country hour building in the states last week.I was on the ramp at Amarillo airport Texas.There were 2 F-18s ,a C and a Super Hornet, and an F-5 sitting next to my 152 (boy did i feel inadequate).I didnt have my camera on me so snapped these on my very sub par camera phone.Super Hornet driver was there and let me sit in the cockpit.Amazing.The F-18C was from a aggressor squadron.Guess what aircraft he simulates in war games
    SU-27.Momentarily thought it was one from a distance.

    Was supposed to be going down to the South Island today with about 20 others for a day of competitions but sadly the poor early morning weather kept us landbound until lunchtime. I got up in the back of a 172 for an hour with another student doing circuits including a power off landing and 300ft low-level circuit that was fun! Managed to get a lesson in myself then afterwards for an hour in the tommy :)

    righto,

    corporate logos - giant stencils stuck on and painted through. multi coloured logos have different layered stencils and the colours are done in different stages. problem with it is that the stencils are cut on a flat table, but the plane surfaces are curved, so you get runoff, which is fixed by hand with a thin nozzle of spray.

    name of paint degreaser - there are loads depending on the type of paint already on the plane, or how much paint has to be removed, different operating temperatures, and it usually goes down to the customer specification on which to use.

    sanding between coatings - depends. normally primer one kind of etches into the aluminium (emphasis on KINDA, because ethant primers are not used any more) so primer one sticks very well to the aluminium. primer coating two is chemically designed to bond to primer one and afterwards leaves a kind of fuzzy or rough finish. cheapest and fastest method is to paint straight onto the rough primer 2, although for a better paint finish, primer 2 can be wet sanded with 400grit.

    make of paint - again there are loads and it depends on customer specification and preference. cheap and fast can have one coat, VIP can have upto 3 coats of very thin expensive paint for best finish. Loads of types of paints though. there is no perfect paint, they even have a Lab here in lufthansa which is working on creating new paints.

    Cost - didn't get an exact figure, but a ball park figure for a 747-400 for everything (thats around 10 days hanger rental, paints, softeners, man hours, logistics, everything) tots up at around 250,000.
    also, only 10 days for a 747-400 to be completely finished...surprised the heck outta me!

    Thanks, cool stuff there. fair play to you.
    It must be a real pain in the neck to wet sand such a large area... And so must be ordering of different brands of paints.
    Especially when every brand has a slightly different procedures of application, flash-off time, curing time etc...

    ya, no bother. any time.

    seemingly the biggest pain in the arse is removing the degreaser/paint sludge. very toxic, heavy, corrosive messy stuff. have to make sure none of the stuff goes anywhere it's not upposed to. have to heat the hanger up to 40+ celcius all the while working in complete chemical resistant overalls and breathing apparatus. hot suffocating work.

    no bother though, i was interested in asking those questions aswell

    I'll bung this in here cos there isn't really a right place to say this.

    When we were taxiing to stand at Heathrow this morning we went past the Singapore Airlines A380. I had an aisle seat so couldn't really get a decent view. (Which is my excuse for not getting a photo, sorry Steyr!)

    How do I put this, it err, didn't look very big. I mean, obviously it is huge, but I was expecting it to be much bigger than a 747 and it didn't seem to be. I think the paint job hiding the lower windows might make it look smaller or something, dunno.

    Just a tad larger than the A320 I was on though:D

    Ya, saw it first back in 2006 and was a bit underwhelmed!! They're not that much bigger than a 747 though, so they were never going to be majorly frightening! Compare back in the day the biggest was a 707 and then the 747 came along!! That was a major upgrade in size! There's a pic of the A380 beside a 747 in JFK, and the size difference isn't massive.
    I think I'm only going to be impressed with size when I see an AN225.
    I suppose the A380 is kind of like Brian O'Driscol. Doesn't look that big until you stand right beside him!

    Have seen this many times at LHR. I often think it looks like a chubby B737.

    Yeah true it doesnt look that massive beside a 747 but it certainly does look more modern and somewhat "fatter" face to face. Inside its a bit quieter and WAY more roomey then a 747.

    Lovely pics. Don't know of any others in Europe.

    Quite a few in the 'States. US Airways did some A319's with some of retro schemes (they call them throwback jets) of airlines they had consumed on their way to domination. Allegeheny, Piedmont and America West for definite, and probably others. American also did a retro, but I don't think anybody would notice. It was silver. With a slightly different AA on the fin.:D

    Of course there's Qantas's unofficial retro in Travolta's jet.

    forgot to mention, thats the Number 5 painting hanger here in Lufthansa technik in Hamburg.

    Two 747s as you can see comfortably fitting in the hanger. both are jacked off the ground with landing gears removed.

    Normally, taking photos here is strictly forbidden. (because they are generally privatly owned planes) but, this was for a power point presentation and is allowed. :D

    Yeah, I know this camera problem from personal experience! I was there for my last job for the last few days of March last year, and my camera ended up behind the desk in that reception area with the wing-shaped roof beside the vents for the engine testing sheds until I came back out on day one - didn't bother after that. To be honest, though, that wasn't that strange (except for the luggage and clothing x-rays and metal detector scans) - everywhere I went for that job was like that - well, at least after September 11th 2001, anyway.

    Meh. Anyway. This is about photos, so here are some of mine - starting with a big bird - an Antonov AN-124, taken at Dublin airport (you can just see the cab of an articulated truck at the tail of the plane, if you look hard):

    2315956586_2004299ca5.jpg?v=0



    I also have some military aircraft photos in an album I took at the Some photos from the Aviation Pavilion of the Royal Museum of the Army and Military History in central Brussels (well worth a visit, btw, especially if you're also into cars, as there's a good car museum 50 yards away):

    Mk. IX Supermarine Spitfire (with, I think, a C-119 Flying Boxcar behind it):
    2657314596_ea54794eb0.jpg?v=0

    There are also sections of a Boeing 707 and a beautiful (complete) Sabena-liveried Caravelle there, but it's virtually impossible to get a good shot of the Caravelle because you can't get far enough away from it to take in the whole plane, and it is mounted on 40-foot-high pillars overhead :)

    Hope you guys like,

    there's a little icon when you're posting, yellow, looks like it has a little black triangle and a circle above it, clicking on that will help you out.

    it's a good idea to upload your pic to photobucket/flickr etc beforehand and link to that image

    What's the story with taking on a plane? are you able to just snap away while the plane is taxiing or taking off? is a camera not electronic equipment that could cause the plane to explode or whatever is supposed to happen?
