F-16's version looks better, though.

The Flanker's shark looks kinda like Left Shark:

Caught a quick glimpse on Saturn's Day of Dodge Challenger/Charger (whatever) in that rather nasty burnt orange of theirs sporting a high angle shark's mouth on the front fenders. Both SWMBO and I are like "No, certainly not. Especially with that color combination."

'Twas probably a tiger's mouth.

No...

"Amur Tiger" nose art on a Boeing 747 of Rossiya Airways - very effective in direct frontal view, but a little goofy from the side?

A sister ship (a 777) with a Leopard motif is not so smart, though, looks like Garfield:

Lion's teeth at the other end of the aircraft.

I flew in this SP, ZS-SPA, when it was with SAA in the 80s. The flight was from Cape Town to Frankfurt non-stop

around the bulge of Africa in apartheid days. It was the first flight I ever made where they showed TWO films!

I do like both the tiger and the leopard, although they do both look rather sad in the artwork

That's 'cause they both headed for extinction in the wild.

Has me thinking. How about painting the back of an aircraft like a baboon's ar*e?

But I digress. I just found this RAAF Hornet scheme.

I think it's trying to be a Hawk Moth caterpillar!

maybe it'll tranform into Mothra!

PR19_Kit · September 24, 2020, 06:49:57 AM

An ELECTRIC caterpillar? Whatever next.................

What is it about Giant Pandas and (I assume given the posters name) the Japanese ?

It is quite nice though
