[CJS]

Nice, a silver one would be cool

[Airshowhammer]

Flypast with Nellie would look fantastic!

[BMrider]

Will they be over Normandy on D Day week, I'm there 1st-8th June photographing the Dak's

[capercaillie]

Lets hope they hang around and pop into RIAT this year.

Top job.

[Brevet Cable]

Will they be attacking British troops?

[fighterfoto]

Cheap shot and wholly unnecessary in my view.

[Brevet Cable]

They've got a tradition going back more than 75 years to uphold.

[HeyfordDave111]

way way better than our 100 sticker......

pride in your work, pride in what you do, pride from bottom to top......

now boys, when are you coming through the cad?

[Tmyers123]

Love it!

But let’s hope the RAF have plans for a D-Day scheme or two, given how important they were in the landings.

Loving the anti-glare panel and USAAF star and bars. Great stuff, let's hope we get some more back and white stripes this year...

The RAF'll probably just have another naff sticker

[Tommy]

I really like it!

As has the RAF. Battle of Barking creek anyone?

[Brevet Cable]

RAF's ( and it's predecessors ) history of fratricide goes back a lot longer, the Americans are mere newcomers.

Just arrived back at Lakenheath from detachment abroad if anyone's hoping to catch it next week.

Looks like the rumoured silver jet was wrong. Also looks very dark for a C

Am I the only one that doesn't like these very much?

Didn’t even notice that it wasn’t an E, it’s so dark. Love it though.

It's a good effort. Both these and the British Airways retro schemes blow the RAF100 decal out of the water and show how heritage should be commemorated.
But, the checkerboard markings round the F-15 noses just don't look right to me.

So they've painted a C in Gunship Grey? Weird. And yuk..

No, you're not the only one.
