Interiors fwiw have migrated very much to grey/red at both rouge and mainline. And the new uniforms are charcoal. I liked the blue but I'm in the minority. Regardless it's time for a refresh and can't wait to see what it looks like. I'd guess the engine cowls will be black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's Grissom and not the old Griffiths AFB in Rome NY??? Grissom is still active whereas Rome is now an MRO, where AC has had previous work done. Just curious.

st27 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well now...that is pretty good info... I didn't realize the US mil outsourced their painting....and if a relatively new a/c (787) along with 2 others, goes to an obscure a/p ..I think your rumour is solid! Thanks!

Super 80 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I suspect they were sent there because they could be kept hangared until the big reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Plane spotters will be in the glory but since the arrivals are after dark, the aircraft will likely proceed directly to their hangars upon landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlupin Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Would all this be for a new coat of paint? You would think they are unveiling a system to get passengers to outer space with this veil of secrecy. I wonder what the objectives of the marketing department are when they do events like this...
