They’re keeping a pretty good staff, as opposed to most papers which are downsizing. Their sports section is excellent to boot.

Reply to comment by Zerstoror in TIL American WW2 airplanes were sent to war unpainted starting in 1943. The polished surface made the planes faster and lighter, giving more range to all planes and more cargo hold for the bombers by PatmygroinB
Did a little searching, some conflicting answers but the standard appears to be 1200lbs/500ish Kilos once dry on a fully painted plane (747).
“Paint adds between 600-1,200 lbs (273-544 kg) of weight to an aircraft”
