      DG>WD> A language error is easy made. That it can go wrong when painting the       DG>WD> company name on a large airliner seems unlikely. Yet this happened       DG>WD> with a Boeing 777 from Cathay Pacific, where the 'F' was completely       DG>WD> overlooked.               DG> Nobody gave an "F"? ;)               The photo indeed was silly but in most cases the names of the company are       merely stickered on. It's like a day or two work because otherwise the paint       had to be scraped off again and get a new expensive treatment.               Personally I find it a missed occasion for Cathay. That plane would've become       an icon, photographed everywhere, free publicity worth a fortune.                \%/@rd              --- D'Bridge 3.99 SR33        * Origin: AVIATION HQ (2:292/854)    |
