In my days as a KC-135 Crew member, I was already aware of the low drag benefits of a rough textured paint. The painted surface on the KC-135 resembled shark skin in feel.
There were studies done decades ago proving glossy surfaces on airplanes produced more drag than flat or shark skin textures.

RE: MythBusters spill the beans on new episodes
Wow, a very stiff interview. I could feel the uneasiness and tension just watching. I agree with part of the shows success is those two are like the odd couple. Adam = one too many 'Red Bulls' and Jamie = son of a Vulcan.
I'm excited to watch the next season.
