Oh man, that orange and black Sea King...   Any info behind the paint scheme?

reason for the special paintjob is the fact that MFG5 is that its homebase at Kiel Haltenau is closing down, the unit is to move to a new base (although i know little about this, from what i heared, the unit might merge with another SeaKing unit)

Ah, now I see where I went wrong, I mistook the other engine as one on the KC-767J
