Just curious, Saintly, but what colour do you see it as? I see it as green but not the green that I have on mine. (I know Paul already said it's gold) If it helps your curiousity, I'm colour blind :P
must be a boeing 767-400 or a 747 (or something of similar size) to cover that distance in that time... a 'lil airplane would take much longer, one would think.
