Yellow Sun,
Surely the cross of reflective tape on a bonedome is not for "green reasons", but for survival situations when you will require more profile; say, in an evening aquatic survival situation. Aircrew employed on operational Land Manoeuvre malarkey use a strip of 'Harry Black Maskers' to cover up the reflective bits.
This stops the enemy finding you.
At homebase, however, the bowser driver gets a better than even chance to run you down.
