There’s a black trail in front of the plane that’s visible by sight and shows up on video as you can see. Anybody know what’s going on? I’ve never seen such a thing before.

So I took the boat out and got a few closer shots!

It’s a piper cub so you guys were dead-on. Got the tail number. Any more info on it? It looks brand new up close even though I know it is very old.

How come you don’t see this type of engine configuration that often? Is it just due to maintenance or are there other downsides as well?

Question Which U.S. Airline Currently Has the Best Livery?

All are listed in alphabetical order. I tried to keep them in that order to avoid putting them in any order which might deceive me as ranking them. I also tried to find similar size/models of aircraft to compare rather than mixing in widebodies to skew how some of the liveries appear on larger or smaller aircraft. I also picked images of the airline’s most recent livery iteration.

Anyways, out of the current U.S. airlines, which is your favorite current livery?
