While there on vacation last year, I noticed that almost every car on Martinique is white. There was a time in this country that you could get one of Henry Ford's cars in any color you wanted, as long as it was black. People think an airplane SHOULD be white, for some reason. Personally, I like the 747 that Alexander Calder did up for Braniff. Jan Wolitzky, BTL MH
