S-3B Viking gets war paint for Naval Aviation Centennial

[BK]

I didn't see this posted. The article says a Hornet will be next to be painted and that the Blue Angels will sport a modified paint scheme for their "Fly Navy" logo.

Now that is cool!

Very sharp! Seeing the picture of Cmdr Rousseau doing his walk around inspection reminded me of an incident when 262crew was just a little guy. We watched a walk around at some airshow and he asked me 'What's he doing dad?'. I thought a second and said 'he's looking for the spare key'.

Here's a pic of the F/A-18. Looks like that they painted a set of BDU's on it:

I don't even want to think about how hard it was to mask off that F18 !

Wait, I'm sure someone is working on decal sheets of that HORNET in 48th, 72nd, and of course, 144th.
