Does anyone know what the closest FS paint number is to the French F8F Bearcat?

I've seen examples ranging from Light Blue to dark Navy Blue.

I realize paint may have changed from unit to unit or because of weathering. 

I'm looking for the 'most' used color of the late 40's-early 50's.

Wrench, Thanks.  I owe you a color.

If I got this right, this is what the color comes closest to.  Looks like many of the examples I've seen.

R/G/B values:

use those numbers to create the new color swatches, and add to your palette.

If you have YAP’s Drug War you have access to the Bell 206B. What you also have access to is all of the textures/skins for the stock FSX Bell 206 because the mapping is the same. All you have to do is download a texture from a FSX site like Avsim.com or Flightsim.com and then convert the file called Bell_206B_T from a .bmp or .dds file to a .tga file (I use a free program called DXTBmp for this) and rename the file remapbell.tga and put it in a skin folder together with an appropriately worded textureset.ini file. You can fly the Bell 206B in your SF1 and SF2 installs, and with so many skins out there it should see a lot of action.

I'm setting up Jimbib's Miramar to be TWO active runways.  This way you can have twice the amount of static aircraft, two sets of little guys, and two sets of heavies.  Nellis AFB is already setup this way in SWUS.

Especially in campaigns, you also get aircraft simultaneously taking off and landing next to you, on the other runway.

I'm making a Drug Wars install for myself, based on the YAP mod and  the Narcos terrain, but with additional Central America and Cuba terrains added so far. I'm in the process of adding more aircraft and ground objects from several sources, and am flying single missions and having a lot of fun...
