That color scheme makes it look Russian to me.

You know how to tell that it's gay?

From the rotors on top.

You can carry on with "going gay", and have a great weekend!

HS-11 lineup at Fallon week of 12 March by HJ

Interesting deceptive tactics being employed by HS-11 these days - flying Bravos with HSL-45 markings on them.

Sneaky bastards.




I know, who cares..."I'm TACAIR. Thou art beneath me, and all that!"

A couple interesting Seahawk schemes I dug up on ARC. The black one looks pretty sweet I think.

Here's an F/A-18 with a Woodland Camo-looking paint job.

How did that guy get in there? Pilots I met with were from Wep School and HS-11. Not sure why a 45 bird would be there...

^ Ooh, someone's going to be failing their stereopsis!

JK, if you look closely, you can see where there's at least a break in the grass, which I assume is the runway.

What, you didn't see the off road capability of the F-16 in The Jewel of the Nile?

^ Didn't see the movie, so I'm waiting for the laugh because I assume there were no red Xs in it. Or is it just my computer?
