Every year the RCAF does a spectacular job coming up with a theme for their demo bird and this one sure is sweet.

Great stuff, I like seeing modern jets in retro schemes. During the US Navy aviation Centenary a few years back there were some real neat schemes applied to their aircraft. Check out this forum and the pics in it.

Some great ones there, like the Hawk/Goshawk with the yellow wings

 

[nuuumannn]

Yes indeed very neat scheme; looks great on the Hawk.

RAF Typhoon II was done in D-Day stripes last year, looked great but I wish they had gone the whole hog and done a full Dark green/Ocean grey cammo !

That would'a looked cool alright.

Here's someone's digital manipulation of a Tiffie scheme on a Typhoon:

I liked the themed Tucano schemes:

441 Squadron did up one of their Hornets in invasion stripes in 1994.
