Rolls-Royce Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Looks like they had fairly recently transitioned to the low-viz markings. It's obvious on all of them that the older stars-and-bars had been overpainted and new ones sprayed on. I was a flight chief on F-4Es at George AFB at this time. I don't remember if we had begun the changeover to Euro 1 from the SEA scheme, but it was coming. The A-10s visible in some of the photos were already wearing it.

Jens Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's just 71-0247 with an incorrectly applied serial number. Jens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
