Wow so boring, couldn't even paint the tail?

[Spunker]

Nah, think it looks good. Just get some winglets on that bird.

I've slept on that plane many nights.

Because it's only a wet lease for a few months, it's a waste to paint the tail....added weight that will just be painted over soon anyway.

The aircraft, being owned by a lessor, just don't desire winglets to be put on them. Being in charters, prices set can offset the high costs of fuel, making the winglet fuel savings almost unnecessary, and the install time just being time that more money cannot be made.
