!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has an article on the French Air Force's 50th Anniversary of Strategic Air Forces Liveries on a C-135, Mirage & Rafale.

Which got me to thinking, what is your favorite livery/special paint job on an aircraft (civilian or military)?

I've always been a fan of the schemes that come to Tiger Meet. There's some really awesome ones that show up there.

In 2011 the Navy repainted a bunch of their birds in historical schemes to celebrate the 100th anniversary of naval aviation. I got to see quite a few of them that year at Oshkosh.

Those are all perfectly Japanese, and all the cooler for it!

In the words of James May, the F-18 on the top in that scheme makes me fizzy.
