An F-86F Sabre aircraft display currently in the process of being vinyl wrapped sits outside the Air Force Armament Museum at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The Sabre marks the first time an Air Force aircraft outdoor display will be wrapped in vinyl instead of receiving a paint update. Air Force museum leadership had to approve this new idea and it was funded through the 96th Test Wing innovation office. (U.S Air Force photo's/Samuel King Jr.)

Hmm. As long as the vinyl doesnt trap moisture underneath it may be a much cheaper option and it *should* protect the airframe longer than paint.

Interesting concept

I agree, I look forward to seeing how it works out in the long term.
