It looks like a basic paint job for a 737 is on the order of $30k. I have no idea how much more something like that would cost.I wonder how much a paint job like that costs.
Is it a skin by any chance?
Looks very much like I would imagine the Vomit Comet would do.
The longest period of weightlessness that it is possible to achieve in these circumstances is about 27 seconds, and after each period of weightlessness, it takes about five minutes for the plane to recover and prepare for then next round. Because we wanted the video to be a single, uninterrupted routine, we shot continuously over the course of 8 consecutive weightless periods, which took about 45 minutes, total. We paused our actions, and the music, during the non-weightless periods, and then cut out these sections and smoothed over each transition with a morph.
Its paint... there are a lot of pictures of it on the interwebz. I'm sure someone has posted a story behind it somewhere

What a legend.
etc...
- Captain 'Winkle' Brown has flown 487 different types of aircraft, a world record that is unlikely ever to be matched
- He flew 2,407 aircraft carrier landings
- He was appointed MBE, OBE and CBE
- He has survived 11 crashes
He also interviewed top-ranking Nazis Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler, who set up and controlled the Nazi concentration camps.

Same here. Really would have thought that knowing who Andr? Turcat was (died on 4 January), I'd know about - arguably, I'm sure - the greatest pilot in the history of aviation.I'm ashamed to say I didn't know about him until I heard of is passing on the BBC yesterday.
The Madness of Airline ?lite Status
Another acquaintance, in danger of losing her status, appealed to United for mercy, writing to the airline that she deserved a break because she had had a baby mid-year. United granted her an exception. Three years later, she asked again, for the same reason. But perhaps to protect America from being overrun by MileagePlus anchor babies, the company replied that it gives only one exception every five years.
