I don't care for the new paint scheme, especially when compared to the old Mike Brown scheme. I'll reserve final judgement until after I see it up close and personal.

Likewise. It's a bit like seeing Dago Red show up in bare metal, although even that would be better than kelp-like flame graphics .

Better showing up with kelp than not at all.



It's different. Looks good but I agree, I think Big Bossman did look better.

Re: Silver Tigercat, El Jefe?

Don't know what to think of the new paint job yet, me and my wife were on the back porch today watching what is now known as La Patrona fly around for a bit, we both agreed that she does not look as intimidating as she looked in black, not saying that it looks bad we are going to check her out tomorrow at the airfield up close and see what she looks like.
