16. Super-Fast And Fizzy
Despite the fact that the Concorde was a dangerous aircraft, its pleasant outward appearance made it appear less threatening. As a result, Pepsi attained a great amount of media attention from the occurrence. If the Concorde was painted white, its maximum speed was limited to 1.7 Mach, and since the Pepsi aircraft was coated with a thick coat of blue paint, the speed was decreased.
17. Holiday Cheer From Above
This cheerful image displays how the otherwise uninspiring colors of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II have been transformed to reflect the holiday season. It’s amazing to see the variety of Christmas-related details that have been added to the plane, from festooned wings to reindeer-powered propulsion. The combination of this Santa-esque behemoth with the snow-draped scenery is striking. It would be great to see them launch some Christmas fireworks instead of rockets!
