Actually I do believe they are normally yellow and black its just in this particular aircraft (SN#72-1494) they are a bit dirty. The aircraft I flew in is a Heritage jet that the River Rats patch and pilots name has faded. Ironically I took a picture of this same aircraft back in 2008 at Tyndall

Once that happens, the oil could be in the Florida Keys in a week's time.
