Cool paint job

I know a lot of paint jobs these days are inspired by the "bandit" look that a certain unsavory Russian oligarch painted on his Falcon a few years back. But I never thought it would work on a Commander due to its lines. But a flight sim software company did a virtual paint job on one and it looks terrific! Good inspiration.

Wasn't there a 1000 with a very similar paint job for a while?

I think it was that glass panel 1000 model with the blue interior, right?

That was a trip that story. Tells you how tough they are as he made it around the patch with half his tail gone.

Yes, I see from flight aware that they went back to a more traditional paint scheme. Honestly, I think the current scheme looks better, at least to me.

Because you like the classic look. On your next paintjob Don, go back to the original 980 scheme! So we aren't the only one in the world!

The problem is, my airplane was originally Bavarian Creme! I can't bring myself to do anything like that. Maybe by the time it needs to be painted again (around 2040, hopefully), earth tones will be back.
