+Dave Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Or when they hunt they can see each other LOL Quote
Southernap Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 They are probably painted that colour so that tracking cameras can follow them easier during thier runs during weapons tests. Similar to the various testing commands that the US has. Most of those aircraft will have various highly visable bullseyes painted on thier birds so that automatic tracking cameras can follow them.

That´s right Southernap. first they flew in a silver paintsheme and had other Numbers (00+00, 00+01 & 00+02) after they were transfered to WTD 61 they got a new colour-sheme and new Numbers... Quote
