I think it has something to do with time, if u look it says PM at the end, so maybe something is gonna happen at 7:38 PM. Just a thought.Adam Kaleniak

>Anyone wonder why the nubmers were written in the windows?You wanted to write "Welcome to the PMDG website last updated with sales information for the now released Beechcraft 1900D" but didn't have enough windows?

If the airplane needs to be flown before a reg number can be put on her- and you don't want to put a placard on the tail- you can stick the numbers in the windows....Okay- more pictures in a bit. ;-)

Thank u 744pilot for the tip, but i kinda figured that out on my own. They did say look closely, so maybe its a trick or something i dont know, it was just a guess. and dont u have to sign each post with ure name.adam kaleniak

>>I think it has something to do with time, if u look it says>>PM at the end, so maybe something is gonna happen at 7:38>PM.>>Just a thought.>>Adam Kaleniak>>God damn, PM=Precision Manuals.I was thinking that too!I think it would be cool if there was a paint, of the plane with zero color!Like just the metal look, off the assembly line!

Very nice...would be even better if N744PM ;)Best,Bruno Francescoli.

ALSO...it could mean that boeing (pmdg) just rolled the bird off assembly, and now it is going to get the boeing (pmdg) paint so they can do all the testing (beta)!:-badteeth

Bah, it will not be truly cool until Anthony figures out a way of having text scrolling along the windows with some new gauge linked into the FMC keypad so users can key in their own messages. ;)Ray

Mr Earhart,Talking about paint. Do you, or anyone, have a clue as to how much the paint job on a 737 really weighs in?Cheers,

Good Question, Mats!I'm also interested if anyone knows how much a fully painted 737NG weighs.AA Doesn't paint them all because this way they save weight and can load more cargo, so the added weigh has to be significant, I guess...Bruno Francescoli.

Hiya,Ever maintained a polished aircraft :( ? Give me a good paint job any day to polishing aluminum. The only reason for taking extra time at C/D checks would be for a complete re-paint. Otherwise keeping a polished a/c like AA does takes constant work, even at B checks to keep it looking nice.OK, the window shades have the registration until the plane goes through the paint shops.JohnBoeing 727/737 Mechanic
