Random Griz Aviation Musings

That paintjob reminds me of one of those hyped up imports with a fart can muffler and advanced timing.

Except I don't see the rims that cost more than the car on this thing

VACAPES?

Nah, probably more like Key West. I think I've seen some boats down that way with a similar paint job.

 

[GroundPounder]

Agreed - We would all be curious to know the requirements and thinking that went in to this livery.

I'd like to see a MH 47G in that same scheme.

I'd like to see a MH 47G in that same scheme.

I think you will.

 

[GroundPounder]

I think you will.

That sounds ominous, Just for clarification, I don't want to see it hovering over my house. Pictures will do....

I would bet that it probably has some affect on night optical systems.

Parked next to an an Ohio State Patrol C182 - at KHAO - as the pilot was prepping for his early morning launch and patrol. The pilot/trooper wore a trim, stretchy two piece uniform that looked like it was made for flying duties. He had a light weight duty belt with only a pair of handcuffs and a SIG P365 sub-compact duty weapon in a low profile outside the waistband holster. Cool looking set-up!

Beautiful fall morning here in America's Heartland.

Any other secrets you want to give away there Mr. Rosenberg? ?

 

[wink]

According to Sherwin Williams that is a combo of “Taiwan Sea Blue” and “Operator Sky.”

Looked it up in case you wanted to use it on the grizz o copter?

Army (160th SOAR) MH-60M on the ramp at Andalusia, AL this morning. This is the new "Combat Maritime" paint scheme. View attachment 38965

Looks like it flew behind a paint truck.

But I like it!

I thought the Blueberry (aquaflauge?) paint scheme was out of style….everyone is all about the Avacado paint scheme.?

Any Kojak light?

It would be really cool if there was some sort of Kojak light.

Had a nice time at the Wright-Patterson AFB Navy Birthday Ball last night - met a Navy Flight Surgeon who is doing a tour here - and is headed to HMX-1 as a squadron FS there!

Many thanks to @Griz882 for coaching me on proper mounting and wear of miniature medals and wings with civilian black-tie!
