Flight School
The chief instructor and owner of the school is quite a notorious chap within the aviation industry, and also famous for having a view of women dating from around 1865. Anyway, he marched into the bar one morning and in front of 20 of us students (busily studying, not drinking. honest...)loudly declared "If God had wanted women to fly the sky would be fucking pink!"


Length? 20ft, wingspan 28ft

If it flies, floats or fucks - you are better off renting
But where would the fun be in that?

Did the bloke who came up with that one ever try renting a Yak50?

Did no-one point out
that the sky is frequently pink?

And why
did they paint Spitfires etc pink underneath? Because it was the best camoflage, apparently.

They most certainly did!
Some Spitfires were painted PRU Pink, for use on low-level recon in conditions with cloud cover. It also reduced the apparent size of approaching aircraft in hazy or cloudy conditions, which is why U-boat hunters were painted pink too, any observers would think they had more time to dive than they actually did have.
The blue painted planes were used for low cloud/high altitude recon work.
The RAF used pink aircraft during Desert Storm.
Ships were/are painted Mountbatten Pink, which is slightly more mauve.
