Oh yes, that is art.
Sadly, our fleets have seen better times in terms of artwork (Tigers, Special Fins etc).

I agree the Tonka is pretty. However you will struggle to beat this years CF18 demo jet paint scheme. IMHO of course!

To be fair, the Rafale is a good looking machine from any angle anyway

The Italians may be coming & their Tornado does look bloody good, but,


The Dutch have already been & their F-16 demo bird, J-015 is (well, was) one of the most impressive airshow paint jobs ever? ;
