Picture out of a book (and yes, it's real). During the first Gulf War the Thunderbirds were made combat ready, not something you'd see everyday...

I wouldn't imagine that would be the best paint to go to combat with. Not so much because of the color, but more because of the radar signature. I dont know too much about this stuff, but my understanding is that they use the same paint they use for cars, with a lot more hardener. And that is shiny as heck... so I would only imagine how they would glow on enemy's radar screen and moreover, in front of people!

But again, it would be CLASSIC site to see a TB dropin ordinance over a target, or even get in a dogfight with someone! I'd just run away if I were the opposing pilot lol

Funky.

just imagine they all formed up in a fingertip form on the radar , it would probably look like a 747 or something .... LOL, i wonder what the enemie would think of shuch skilzorz pilots.

smoke on ready....OH CRAP!!!!!! sorry...


JK..

It's 2 in the morning so its funny on this end.

HAHA ROFL

here's my way to do it.

AIM 54C release,ready, now

Hey, Lawndart. What book did you get the picture from the Thunderbird combat ready?

We Rode the Thunder:
The Autobiography of the Air Force Thunderbirds. Their story...in their own words. 200 page book from the 50th anniversary season.

Can be found here: M.T. Publishing Company.

Thanks. It is even better because the company is in my city.
