He did write:“The familiar red white and blue finish seemed >>>>>>>>>”
Is this again a incorrect notation “The familiar red white and blue finish” and does have finish has to be “finished” to be the substantive for the old contest plane?
“Blue” is an indication that the reporter didn’t could take a close look to the plane (I THINK) because the bottom is black.
The color scheme of Ed’s both planes was exactly the same and I think that had a reason!(Who knows this reason?)
Most important for us is of course the “was built more than two years ago ”!!

"The familiar red, white, and blue finish...." The term "finish" is another term for "paint scheme", or "paint job". Of course if your comment is a "play on words" bit of humor, then please excuse my bothering to mention it.
Under certain lighting and sky conditions, (such as a clear blue sky) the Aerogloss Black Ed uses has a decided bluish look as the blue in the sky is reflected in the black paint. I had a black sports car once that was the same way...it's a weird characteristic of shiny black paint. However there is no way the bluish tint could be considered a dark blue, so the reporter obviously got it wrong.
There is a danger in taking some comments too literally, however since the reporter says it's blue...it must be.
The pictures below show both of Ed's planes under a blue sky.
