I'm referring to the "JQ" on the tail...that's the tail flash VQ-2 had in Rota.
Arguably the most famous MPRA callsign/paint scheme: Strawberry 5
@ Dev, indeed some paint Retro schemes seem to somewhat tenuous or not part of a family tree relationship, but this one is the most appropriate of them all IMHO
I'd agree, for MPRA. That looks sharp. But if you're going to go retro for HSL/M, go with the Hookey-Tuke blue.

Hopefully they weren't going for a lake.
I think our estimate was ~$20,000...I think. The order of magnitude is right, I just can't remember if it was a 2 or not.
When do all these birds get un-painted? At their next trip to the depot? Or do we go grey (or orange and white) on New Years Day?
Also, any sign of a Centennial Phrog? The closest thing I've seen to a throwback Phrog is Lady Ace 09, at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum at NKX:

Found this brief on the Heritage Paint Scheme caper. Answers a lot of your collective questions
Thank you kindly.
That's handy, but alas, still does not answer my question about -41's bird. I know, I'm the fool...trying to understand LAMPS.
I do like all the thought processes of the other aircraft though. Pretty well done. Even if HSC-2 and HSC-3 apparently had the same idea at the same time.
Yeah, HSC-2's bird has more lineage to their squadron. Capt Thornton flew for HU-2, which was the predecessor to HC-2, which then became HSC-2. 2 even flies from the Thornton Memorial Hangar at Chambers. I would have thought that HSC-3 would have gone with LT Clyde Lassen's H-2 that he earned the Medal of Honor in. HSC-3 even has his citation up in their wardroom.

It's all done for free. The squadron supplies the paint and supplies.
Here is a link to Shayne's web site: http://www.flygirlpainter.com/
No, it is not done for free. Maybe she paints SOME of the airplanes for free, but not everyone gets that deal. Also, paying for paint and "supplies" is not free.
