The Scheme

Gerald Shultz
Unusual I have never seen that paint scheme. Especially onboard a carrier. Good choice.

Augie
it might yet change 🙂 but thank you

Kerry COX
Yeah Augie. I believe it was the colour scheme for "Operation Desert Storm" and it actually had a 'pink' hue to the overall colour, but just check it out a bit more but that's what I remember hearing.

John Thomas
Very cool

Ralf Schuster
I like it... nice scheme...

Christian Bruer
Nice subject and a very cool photo!
The Navy often experimented with different color schemes, but this one was used by VA-72 during Desert Storm. Another cool photo of this bird.

Choppa Nutta
I know exactly what you mean Kerry, that Star Wars reference is a bit of a stretch 😉 😄 😄 😄

Kerry COX
Well why say it ???? F(*K ! Delete it for all our peace of mind .

Choppa Nutta
because it was amusing, for some at least 😄

Kerry COX
Sexually oriented comments on any forum that has nothing to do with sexual or bodily functions is not acceptable to me and I find it offensive. Go else where for your cheap thrills NUT.

Choppa Nutta
I think you are being somewhat over sensitive Kerry, it was hardly what you might call an explicit comment.
Anyhow I think we should let Augie arbitrate this one as it is her thread but I will be sure to refrain from making such humorous comments on your threads though 🙂

Augie
Wow ok lads, corners please..

I've re-read everything and choppa bud, I think you might have gone a ickle bit too far with that one.. No harm done m8 and easily done. I myself have done it a few times.

I've deleted the comment

Choppa Nutta

Fair enough, it is your thread after all.
I didn't think it was so bad, especially as it amused you too. Good job I stuck to the kiddy friendly version of that joke otherwise we might have had a proper shit storm here 😄
Anyway, moving along.........
