achterkirch Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm looking for some pictures of this jet when it was at NFWS in the wrap around desert scheme. So far I have found some sides views but no top and bottom views or close ups of the names on the sides. Was hoping some one could help me out! Thanks for looking.

Crusader nut Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Havent found any pics for you yet, but found it interesting that one online source I found shows that that particular jet served with the Blue Angels too.... http://a4skyhawk.org/content/155000-blue-angels-photographer-unknown-g-verver-collection-4820 I did find several shots of 155000 in two different wraparound camo schemes, but they are all side shots. EDIT, can also tell you that some VF-126-used NFWS Skyhawks had a white belly/wings. This one did not. If you look at the various side shots of 155000 you will notice that the main landing gear doors are painted the same color as immediately above them on the top of the wings.

Crusader nut Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Bingo, not a photo but this is the reference sheet from a decal set for this exact aircraft, circa 1992, in the wraparound desert camo. Shows upper and lower surfaces, pilot's name, and even plane captain's name. http://www.masm.fr/Navycag/Decal48/FTD48026-VF-126Bandits-e.jpg Hope this helps!

achterkirch Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Nice thank you! When it was at topgun it must have been in two different wrap around desert schemes. Edited April 16, 2016 by achterkirch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
