RE: yes it happened!
There seems to be a lot of insecure colour conscious guys out there!!
It's only the wavelength of the reflected light we are talking about. It doesn't have to brand your soul with shame.
It is a great gift to be able to design an attractive colour scheme and dress up a model (or yourself) to look fantastic. But it's a gift I don't have (I admit to the dress and colour sense of a blind pig).
It's over 20 years since British Airways started to recruit lady pilots, but thankfully they were all junior to me (a MCP) and they were great to fly with. I don't suppose they reciprocated the sentiment as about my only topic of conversation then, as now, was model aircraft. But if we get lots more females flying models that must be good.
Just think, you could marry one and argue over having your annual vacation at Florida Jets or Sin City Jets.
