>exhibition >heritage >aggressors >fiction >joint exercises >prototypes
There are a number of reasons these multimillion-dollar aircraft get covered in the most hilarious, tacky, and colorful livery imaginable. The more outlandish and practical, the better.

Aren't these their typical colors in search-and-rescue configuration? I thought they always used this kind of high-vis paint.

How do they add on new paint? Do they just paint over it? I assume that would accumulate into a lot of weight over time.
