Now that is a cool paint job! It would be interesting to hear a little more about the whole paint design and execution..

Well...the paint scheme is inspired by the Y2K Spitfire at Vintage Wings of Canada at the Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport. Check it out here...

When the Winnipeg Jets unveiled their logo(below), We decided we would do a Jets/Y2K inspired paint scheme.

Wow, what an outstanding paint scheme. Very impressiv. I would love to have a semi military paint scheme on my bird too, but I am affraid of the camouflage effect doinging its job to well. I guess esp. the nice grey in grey colors blend nicely into a misty sky.

Awesome paint scheme! Congratulations on such a nice 7.

A few years back an A&P friend of mine introduced me to Canada's very rich military aviation history and I'm glad he did because I had no idea that it is so impressive.
