Gonna stick out like a sore thumb during the day. Wouldn't want to fly formation on its wing at night.
ReplyDelete"Wraith"?? I'd say it's more "Early Batmobile."
ReplyDeleteYou can find photos of that exact same paint job on US aircraft going back to at least the 1930's. It was super common in ww2 and Korea with "night intruders". The "Red on Black" fell out of use with the USAF in the Vietnam war ,for some reason----Ray
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking paint scheme....
