11bee Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Upper surfaces look much darker than normal. Is that just a fresh paint job or is the Navy modifying the paint scheme? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think that squadron just does the darker upper surfaces as their unique markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Nice pics as always. Not seeing a lot of SH's with the centerline fuel tank-mounted FLIR. Thought this would have been somewhat more common by now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure if the IRST has reached IOC yet, it had fleet level testing with VFA-94 last year / early this year. (All photos US Navy) -Gregg Edited September 1, 2021 by GreyGhost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
