Default AIR

Sailed south through Oban Bay on Saturday and passed a humungous motor yacht at anchor. From a distance she appeared to have a white superstructure over a black hull but although we passed very close and the hull then appeared to be a metallic charcoal grey, it's mirror finish made it very difficult to determine it's true colour.

She was far too big for me to judge her size accurately (I sail a 22 footer in case you hadn't guessed) but was definitely much closer in size to a football pitch than a tennis court. The only distinguishing marks were the letters AIR in chrome characters a metre high on the superstucture which had at least 4 or 5 decks. Her ensign was wrapped around the jackstaff and was mainly red but didn't look like a duster.

I've googled but "air" is just too common a word.

Any ideas?
