Again, I learn something new, thanks Scott.
When I was out there over a year and a half ago, didn't see the black radomes. I'll have to see if the Arctic Aggressors can get the black radomes. |

| 87-0378 was seen at Edwards 2 weeks ago by a friend of mine. It is now marked ED in Flanker colors. I've seen a picture, but don't have permission to share it. |

Isn't 87-0366 also destined for ED in blue flanker colours too?

You know … (except for the 174th) I understand loosing units don’t give up their best aircraft!
This may be a foul; I don’t like stepping on other unit’s toes, but 378 “was” absolutely disgusting.
Congratulations, you’re one up on Hill
We got some sweet jets from the 174th!

Everybody thinks the paint is cool so it may stay like that for a while … Obviously when the scheduled paint comes up (I think every 5 years) It will change.
Orange and White Clown Jet paint scheme is also up in the air.
Man ... we maintain a stable of some unique Vipers!  |

| That's a cool looking paint scheme. But why limit it to the arctic.. I think it would work just as well in a desert environment. |

The problem with a scheme like on the agressors is that it requires more maintenance wize than a "simpler" scheme as the standard Viper scheme is.
Less paint = less cost, shorter service time in the paint barn, less stock of paint etc. etc. |
