MinnFlyer...How did you do that...the flying plane. Dave
I drew a 3-d version of a trainer, took several snapshots at different angles, and created an animated gif with the snapshots. Cool huh?

Iv'e noticed that if the plane is far away, you see the plane at an angle and therefore don't see the bottom of the plane any way. Therefore making the bottom of the plane a different color doesn't really make any difference if the plane is way out.
So you're saying that you can't tell whether you're seeing the top or bottom of the planes in this picture?
But you're partially right. Most experienced fliers can fly a plane that is identical on top and bottom (My 27% extra is proof of that). After you've been doing this a while, you get to know which way your plane is going because it's going where YOU put it. But to the novice, orientation is something that hasn't been mastered, so whatever aids you find helpful are good.
