Navy QF-86 drone in Blue Impulse markings


Recommended Posts

Were the F-86's that were used at China Lake the exact same paint scheme that the Blue Impulse used? I'm assuming they came directly from Japan. If so, I've found some drawings of the scheme. Is the underside natural metal or gray?

Darren,

 

Naval Fighters Number Fifty-Eight has a few photos, one of which still has a hinomaru.  Overall white with blue trim.  There's a color photo on the rear cover, blue looks like Insignia Blue or a touch lighter.
