Now here's a follow up quiz: With BOB's aircraft lighting
system one can actually draft in front of his vanagon
(ie being pushed by it).

But for best drafting what paint job should you choose?

a/ Black
b/ Silver metallic
c/ White

Extra bus points for deriving the resulting force and frequency shift
of the returned light. (assume perfect reflector for b/ and matte
lambertian for c/)

It's still friday somewhere isn't it?
