Stripping a plane

A reader from the USA has sent us a commercial from United Airlines that shows a Boeing 777 aircraft being stripped of its old livery and repainted in the new United Continental colours.

The short clip uses time lapse cameras to monitor the work that goes into it and as you might expect powered access plays a massive role in the task. The video is fascinating in that is shows how much effort goes into a repaint job. The music is not bad either.
