Best GA Paintjob (contest)

[Roger, Roger]

i am not sure if it helps the airplane or not. if anything it only adds to its flight characteristics because the ground repels it much more strongly.

Yeah, on any other type of aircraft that paint scheme would be horrific. But considering that the airplane itself is already hideous, I think this actually goes back around to AWESOME.

I'm too lazy to search, but my vote goes to the Astra with different color engine nacelles, among other parts.

Ok. I searched for it:

I always kind of liked the stripe swirling in the prop wash on my old Twin Comanche:

That's subtle but very cool. Classy for sure!

Who needs fancy paint when you're got the swagger?

A little Mondrian.

I've always thought this one was "pretty-gaudy"

Over filled tip tanks?

Over filled tip tanks?

Forgot to close the crossfeed or something like that... I think that's what they told me when it happened to me... we put some tires underneath the low tip tank until they came back

Nice examples
I've seen a lot of those Gulfstreams at LGB where they are painted.

Somebody forgot about the 100 gal max difference between wings.

What about Larry Flint's G-II...good looking, but those Rolls-Royce Speys sound AMAZING.

Hey that looks familiar!

I think a girl I used to date may be on board.

My entry will surprise no one. Darth Vader's Mitsi. It even sort of sounds like a TIE Fighter. If it's the same one (and I think it is) that I used to see at W29, at one point it had a giant playboy bunny on the tail. Beat that.

And of course the obligatory nod to Mr. McMahon.

Oh I remember my sweet days in the MU2. NEver flew the short bodies though. THey are beautiful and fast

I thought this Bandit looked familiar. Most of the companies bandits look this bad, but at least their 20's are getting some new paint.

This Bandit is almost as bad...

Steve, your Comanche looks stellar!

Rumor has they have also started repaiting their E110 fleet. 64DA has been repainted.

I like this one.

Took this in OKC in 2008.

Not too fond of the owner, but Im partial to the subtle logo.

It's been a long time, but I think there's a 125 Gallon refuel limit...don't quote me though.

The crossfeed open takes a long time to get to the point of being as dramatic...agin, don't quote me.
