[Ditter]

We got off of an Aero Mexico flight in Cozumel and laughed when we saw the nose of the plane had been patched with duct tape. When we got back on a week later we saw that the duct tape had been covered with a coat of fresh paint.

We never flew Aero Mexico again, God only knows how they patched up the engine.

Well, so long as it was the right paint...

There is such a thing as aircraft tape. Holds as strong as welded metal of the same surface area and is approved for many repairs.

It’s typically shiny silver or a light matte grey
