Sunliner Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 What's up with the Growler with the nat'l insignia on the tail? I didn't think the markings got moved around like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 What's up with the Growler with the nat'l insignia on the tail? I didn't think the markings got moved around like that It's their retro scheme. Prolly keeping in line with the CONA schemes that were going around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 135 tried (and, IMHO, didn't quite pull off) a paint scheme that I'm told was supposed to recall the Whale... but then they're also known to wear black flight suits on Friday so their ascetic sense is a little suspect to begin with... ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I like it ... One thing that would have improved it though would have been if they had done it on Gloss Gull Grey over White ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hegedus Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The new Kestrels scheme is killer! Much better than the "flaming butt cheeks" of a few years ago, for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 HARMs always look good loaded on (Super) Hornets ... Thanks for the great shot of Black Lion 200 ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Man those are some killer illustrations there. I need more Super Bug kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) The new Kestrels scheme is killer! +1, and it beats the 'ell out of that one that looked like a human gluteous maximus on fire. Some others descriptions were a lot less flattering. I need more Super Bug kits. DON'T!!!...say that, it'll be infectious,and contagious and I'll be in Rover's hotel...waiting for room service that ain't coming.

White Wolf Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just a question out of curiosity and pardon my ignorance, but why aren't the US Marines displaying the same interest in the Super Hornet as they did with the legacy Hornets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just a question out of curiosity and pardon my ignorance, but why aren't the US Marines displaying the same interest in the Super Hornet as they did with the legacy Hornets? They are putting all of their interest in the F-35B JSF ... It's happened in the past with A-7 Corsair, the Marines went with A-4M Skyhawk and later, the AV-8 Harrier/AV-8B Harrier II ...

Gregg Oh, I see, it's just that I always thought it would be a more natural progress to go C/D -> E/F and AV-8B -> F-35B. :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are taking the Navy hand me down EA-6B Prowlers and wanting the F-35B to handle future Electronic Warfare missins as well ... With the way the F-35 program is going though, who knows, we might see Marine Super Hornets in the future ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
