It was not part of the flying program, and my daughter does not recall seeing it at the hard stand. Neither was the Catalina that she can recall.

red750 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Here's something interesting that someone on Facebook picked up. Notice the 5 in the intake is painted upside down. That's because he flies the top positim in the mirror formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenaroo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) there is a lot of "easter egg" painting in certain positions. I know one of the thunderbirds had a traditionally black tail. as it flew in the back, with the rudder in the exhaust of the lead jet - was easier then cleaning the soot off when flying F4 phantoms think the blue angels opposing solo has his numbers upside down too Edited March 9, 2023 by spenaroo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
