2011 will mark the 100th year that the US Navy has been commanding the skies as well as the seas. In clebration of the event, the Navy is painting a few jets in special retro paint schemes. Above are two T-45's in their standard training paint and a T-45C painted in a 1930's era scheme.  In the late 30's you might have caught aircraft with these colors operating from the USS Enterprise (CV-6). Now, 70 years after the colors were abandoned, they fly once again on this lone Training Air Wing 1 bird.  Several squadrons have been authorized to paint one aircraft each in special historical schemes. Look forward to seeing a few more of these historical schemes in the future. A real releif from the typical scrub-grey we're used to.  |
