Bill's post from the Sandford airshow reminded me of this request I've been meaning to make.

I know in the last few years there have been alot of retro schemes for military aircraft honoring the various anniversaries. If you have a picture of one or more of these aircraft please post them here or send them too me and I'll add them.

Very cool. I recently saw (but forgot to note where) a T-38 in yellow and blue pre-WWII scheme. Looked unusual but cool

Scott - this one?

ImageT-38 heritage by Tom Petersen, on Flickr

From the Enid News & Eagle newspaper:

"A T-38 Talon assigned to the 25th Flying Training Squadron (FTS) already can be seen flying over Enid and in the base traffic pattern, painted in a historic blue-and-gold paint scheme harkening back to U.S. Army Air Corps aircraft of the mid-1930s to early 1940s.

Plans also call for painting a T-1 Jayhawk with the 3rd FTS in an olive drab and gray fighter motif, similar to a 1940 P-40 Warhawk posted in the Philippines. A T-6 Texan II with the 8th FTS will be silver with black trim, to mimic the unpainted, polished aluminum style of a 1950 B-26 Marauder, according to a Vance press release. Another T-6, with the 33rd FTS, will be olive drab and gray in the paint scheme of a B-25 Mitchell from World War II."

Wasn't there IIRC, an F-16 in Texas in a retro scheme, that was panned by most everyone as being ttub ugly?
