Aggressor schemes from March 2018
Aggressor schemes from March 2018
A trip through the South West USA in March 2018 allowed us to photograph a wide variety of different Aggressor colour schemes, as worn on a number of different adversary types. A bit different from the usual boring grey schemes seen on the majority of military aircraft today.
01.
This preserved former USN F-16 at Palm Springs Museum, CA, wears a splinter scheme.
02.
Also at Palm Springs, an A-4 Skyhawk in blue and grey camouflage.
03.
This former Bulgarian Mi-24 Hind, seen at Kingman, AZ, still operates in the adversary role in support of US exercises.
04.
Draken International operate a number of former Czech L-159s.
05.
Another L-159 seen at Nellis, NV, in a different scheme.
06.
A Nellis based F-16 in one of the various schemes worn.
07.
This Nellis F-16 is in one of the more recent colour schemes.
08.
The home based adversaries at NAS Fallon wear a multitude of different colour schemes.
09.
This F-5 is seen in a gaudy lemon, green and brown scheme.
10.
Another unusual F-5 scheme of stripey greys.
11.
This is the Top Gun 'Mig-28' all-black scheme.
12.
Even the H-60s are not immune.
13.
Top Gun F-16 in the blue camo scheme.
14.
Top Gun F-16 in the desert camo scheme.
15.
F-5 landing at Fallon in the 'cloud' scheme.
16.
A visiting F-18 at Fallon in a grey camo scheme.
17.
Blue camo Hornet on the flightline at Fallon.
18.
Fallon air park grey camo F-16.
19.
Old F-5 in the air park at Fallon.
20.
Preserved A-4 at Fallon in the desert scheme.
Hope that selection of colour made a bit of a change to the usual boring grey schemes seen on the majority of combat aircraft today.

Re: Aggressor schemes from March 2018
looking at your Image/pix number 16 reminded me of the time when 2 from VFC-12 transited together with 8 from VFA-106 through Mildenhall - 04.11.2000 and then I went gulp!! that was 18years ago ( good ol' days )
forewarned is forearmed

Nice selection
Barstow Dagget was the place for Chopper schemes when the UH-1 was there

Great to see so many aircraft in pristine condition, especially with the variety of liveries.

Yes, California and Nevada climate is a lot more gentle to airframes than the UK dampness.Snoop 95 wrote:Great to see so many aircraft in pristine condition, especially with the variety of liveries.
Re: Aggressor schemes from March 2018
Contrast these with the health and safety mad RAF who paint their aggressor aircraft in Black - the highest contrast, most visible scheme possible.
Re: Aggressor schemes from March 2018
How long is it since you started this hobby verreli ?
Is it over 40 years ago ??
If so cast your memory back to the amount of losses the RAF suffered during Low flying training in the late 70s and early 80s.
I knew several pilots that paid the price in full. So its Black for a Reason.
