Here's a photo of a new Marine camo pattern on a helicopter.

Seriously?

I mean, it's certainly possible, but have you seen one with your own eyes?

Big Sarge · 08-03-2008, 10:34 PM

Do you see what I'm talking about? Perhaps you need a closer shot. I sure wish we could have gotten away with this! They just about hung us for trying to put nose art on one of our aircraft

Big Sarge · 08-03-2008, 10:35 PM

I haven't seen it for myself. These photos are being distribute amongst aviation units

Before the first Gulf War, due to the rapid need for deployment, and so many to be painted, the Marines were allowed to paint their squadron aircraft in their own hangers before deploying. There may have been as many as 4 of these ships with that paint scheme.

Thanks Bruce. We all thought this was something new on the aircraft at Al Asad

So let me get this right.
Camouflage is to help you blend in, right?

So this helicopter is designed not to be seen... in a desert strip club?
Useful.

That's one dangerous chopper...you could put an eye out with those things!

You wait 'til you see the fuel filler hole...

classicman · 08-04-2008, 07:47 AM

Just be careful checkin the oil.

I thought that sort of art was reserved for the mud flaps of trucks.
