I was recently playing a trivia game, and it asserted that the paint of a jumbo jet had to be removed before repainting, due to the weight.
It said there could be up to 500lbs of paint put on the exterior of the plane, but even if this is true, that is marginal compared to the passengers and cargo the plane is carrying. 500lbs could be added if a family packs a lot of luggage.
So does anyone know whether there is any legitimacy of this fact?
