I always thought the battleship grey scheme of the '90s was quite classy.

Then again, who has decent paint jobs these days? I suppose SWA and...hmmm... That's about it, really.

I agree that battleship grey was the best. I loved that paint job

Two problems with it:

1. It was better than Navy grey for making an airplane hard to see in flight.

2. The grey paint oxidized quickly making the airplanes look like caca.

Other than that it was great.
