Love this theme, the Blues are switching to the Super Hornets, Es and Fs very shortly, they may not like flying the BIG BIRD, the Marines didn't like them, as they lost a lot of maneuverability.
LOVE this paint, but the grey should be white, white/orange, the old Navy stdby, and such a kool paint scheme, etched in the Air Force Brat's psyche from an early age, lots of white and orange birds on NAHA, AB, Okinawa. Lots of overwater flying, I believe the SA-16s were natural Aluminum and Orange, the C-130s may have been the same???
T-Birds either silver or white and orange, anyway, love the orange, it makes it much easier to ascertain the aircrafts orientation.

Thirty years on and RAAF Hornets are still fighting the good fight.

Gotta love this paint, seems I remember something similar from the 30s on a PT-20 or something similar. It is singularly striking.
