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

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.

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.
