Great use of the Gripen low-vis roundels... very clever. Like the blue-trim aswell, any reason for that ?? - doesn't matter, it looks superb. Been looking at Czech Mil 24's today, think that recent green/grey/grey camouflage could end-up on a project of mine sometime next year !... Hmmm Eurofighter, or Mitsubishi F-2 ??

I have a soft spot in my heart (and my head, too, probably) for the gunships like this one. This is a beauty.
The Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah, the Men's department.

Very nice indeed.  The lo viz roundels suit the scheme.

Well, I've never seen a C-130 flybackwards but I have seen one from the inside looking out the ramp "back up" on the tarmack to offload.

I saw it at an airshow. It was part of the short landing demo.  That was how the piloit described to me and how it shown.  They made a big deal of how it could reversing it's engines direction and "fly backwards" .  They even had it going backwards down the runway.  I was telling the aircrew how the C-130 was one of my favorites and I ended up getting the cook's tour of the aircraft and cockpit.
