Pobeda also has a 737-800 with a mask livery from a couple of months back, VQ-BWG

Taking the whole Mask Obsession from the Ridiculous to the Absurd.

I wonder if their pilots have received special training in keeping at least 6 feet from other planes while flying. 😉

The 6 feet rule doesn't mean you can stand 6 feet and not wear a mask. A sneeze can travel 30 feet. 6 feet is just a reminder and a general principle that standing away is better.

MOAR mask stories!!
What credit cards should we use to buy masks?
Can hotels stays be paid in masks?
Lists of prominent people who wear masks?
Lists of prominent people who don't wear masks?
Should sea cucumbers be wearing masks?
Should my mask also wear a mask?

MOAR!

The proper way to put on a mask for an airplane would be to cover the engine intakes. 😉

Uh derek:

My comment was about training the pilots to keep the planes 6 feet apart while in the air, flying @ 500 mph. 😉

I have a vague feeling you are taking this whole mask thing way too seriously.

My response:
Taiwan has had great success in holding back the virus, so I wouldn't call it an obsession.

Not the first one I guess. Russian low-coster airline Pobeda operates jet with such a mask at least from the start of the summer.

@alex_77w - new paint is quite an investment for sarcasm (read my sarcastic comment of your comment).

For all the anti-maskers, please quit endangering everyone else by your lack of common sense.

@Alex_77W Nope, only you and some people in the US see the "sarcasm". The rest of the world just see it as a helpful reminder to keep everybody safe
