    Except the 787 isn't made of metal, so who knows what it's going to look like.
    Good point, I'm sure it will have to be painted in a grayish or a metallic like silver paint. Today's paints have progressed so much where they can easily apply a silver reflective paint to keep AA's "Silver Bird" style. I'm very excited about this news!

    Odd coincidence...just hours after this announcement, the Dow Jones avg (of which Boeing is a component) closed down 7.87%!
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    what if the fuselage were covered in a thin sheet of mylar? true it would be more suceptable to damage but it might just look closer to metal than paint.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
