Of course if you knew that it was powered by Rolls Royce it would help i think the Red Arrows followed suit with the red shortly after the Red Knights performances in Europe
 
No its a Canadian T33 or Tbird it was Rolls Royce nene powered and was a little faster climbed faster and cruised better then the more powerful Allison powered US version . The Red Knight with the red scheme was a solo display that was a staple at smaller airshows that couldn't arrange for the other larger formations

nice, but a bit of a flying tube.

That's because it is the stretched C-141B version. The C-141A was much better proportioned, and better flying.

Okay. For those of us who love the 757 and her pretty legs, this has to be one of the most B-E-A-U-tiful turboprops ever made. And I do love turboprops. And such long legs. Pretty. :love4:
