Can’t imagine that’s very effective for camouflage in the skies. Is there such a thing at visual camouflage for aircraft? I know “battleship gray” is designed to help watercraft blend into the ocean.

Moving through a jungle at Mach 1 seems sorta reckless.

Pale blue on the belly.... btw, this one was done for a show. Don’t think it would have been used in actual combat, at least, hope not ;^)

How about down a highway in the desert while being chased by an entire army?

Jewel of the Nile, and I think it was a Mitsubishi F-4, very similar to the F-16.

And, where’s the landing/taxi lights on that jet? I thought Block 30 and above had them on the nose door.

And I’m afraid of what I will do if I ever own a car with under 100k miles on it. Whew!
