Are you serious? She does look damn fine in those colors!

Raptor's New Paint

Wow she looks beautiful in those colors. If more people see this, I can almost guarantee there is going to be someone that's going to want to build this with 3D max. That would be a nice mod for LockOn, and it replaces the F-15!

But wow! What a nice paint job!

IMHO they should've painted the whole nose black, instead of leaving the tip but otherwise it looks beautiful!

I like the paint scheme, but I didn't even realize the Dutch had Raptors much less enough to devote one to airshows.

Here's hoping for two F-22 demos at Aviation Nation in the future. The Dutch F-16 demo pilot always puts on a great demo every year.

That's debatable. But it does look nice.

@Burner- Yea, back in March, The House and Congress lifted the export ban of the F-22 to foreign countries because they are stupid.

No-one else has Raptors apart from the US. Many people in Australia would like to replace our F-18's with F-22's, but we seem to be locked into the F-35 program. Even though Congress voted to lift the export ban, there seem to be a lot of obstacles to anyone else getting them. Cost is one of them.

At $160 million a jet, heck I'll take 20!

Why on earth do nations want this POS?!?!

It's a great fighter WHEN it can get in the air but when it's on the ground well it doesn't do much Air Superiority.

Can't that be said for any fighter?

More so for the Raptor hence the nickname "Craptor."

Such hatred. Direct you're hatred towards the F-35 and less the F-22......it's a piece of $*@%!

I work on the F/A-22 so I will hate them until I stop working them!

The Black-Orange color may look a bit similar, but overall the F-16 painting is quite different.

Black-Orange are just sexy colors on a jet
