Flying into Newark about three summers ago aboard a Continental B757 we were requested to close the blinds after landing to stop heat soak into the plane.

I was puzzled about this as the sunshine was clearly hitting the exterior of a long metal tube which would heat up nicely thank you without the additional help of a few small portholes.

One wonders what the real reason was....
