Fully aware that the owner can paint his aircraft as he or she wishes, and that markings may -wink-wink- not be accurate, let's see civilian aircraft painted in military markings.

All four aircraft in this first thread, at the Brookshire, TX airfield.

EDITED

I was thinking, that scaled replicas should not be included. After all, they were designed and built to represent their full-size brethren.

Back in the '70s, Grumman American offered the Yankee (or the "Trainer" variant) in pseudo military schemes from the factory.

Generally harmless, but like incorrect schemes on warbirds, a bit annoying to the historian in me.

IIRC, some Varga Kachinas were also sold with optional quasi-military markings.
