Unlike real life paint, virtual paint doesn't get all over your clothes and stain your hands for days. And I very much appreciate that because for the past couple of days I have been slathering the paint onto the soon-to-be completed Stingray amphibious jet. It's funny how a new paint job can make a plane feel faster.



Incidentally, a great place to test marine vehicles, like ampibious planes, boat, and submarines, is Gulliver Airport in Zatzai. Not only does it have a runway and boat launch, but it's also part of the of Second Life's sailing sims -- a truly ginormous body of water that's dotted with attractive islands.
