On pickups, they're called Texas pinstripes;


that's what I've heard scuff marks are along the side of a car from rubbing against shrubs or tree branches.

What they're called on airplanes, I don't know, and I don't think it's Texas pinstripes.



Whew.

(Incidentally, the Stinson aircraft featured in this video is the safest of all small planes.  See here: http://stevewilsonblog.com/2010/12/22/grandadwonatcheckers.aspx)

Here's: the rest of the story.
