That's pretty good on the F-15, but for me, this is the Ducks Nuts!

I was always under the impression that celebratory paintschemes were frowned upon due to cost. When I asked the Dutch AH-64 Apache Display Team crew what it cost to paint their Apache, they replied that it was a vinyl finish applied by a local company that could be removed in the space of hours, should operational requirements require the airframe. It cost €5K which seemed remarkable value to me.

Having had the task of removing the vinyl wrap finish from something as small as a Mini Countryman, I would dispute that!

The designer must have taken delivery of a massive shipment of drugs from across the border with Netherlands. It worked too, stunning.

Wensleydale: Well, she wore some half decent tail art when she came in. Local rumour has it that Air Livery forgot to order the paint, hence the departure in primer.. Of course, this may be complete bolleaux.

Regards,

Frank
