Well "Air Superiority" got my attention. At OSH when you get your Sport
Aviation, inside the front cover will be my Air Superiority (Attached) in
.pdf .
will need Adobe Reader to view.
"Air Superiority Blue" is almost as visible as white. The color of the
early F-15's was too easy to spot, so we finally settled on "Smog Gray",
which works pretty well. Looks like the F-22 chose about the same hue of
smog....
Naf, et al,
Seriously, I have also included a blue picture of my L4P and I wanted to
make a point to be aware of that curved paint lines make you look more
camouflaged. I have been surprised by several other pilots that told me that
they lost
sight of me while IN the pattern. With strobes and all going. I have lots of
White but the dark color is the color change paint and goes from Black to
Purple through the Blues.
We all need TCAD.
BTW I have the 9900BX with 11 mile range and many times while flying over
Las Vegas, ATC called traffic at 12 o'clock with a hold 1000 ft below me
that
I haven't seen yet and then it shows up at 10 miles. Also, it verifies my
altimeters and encoder when they show exactly 1K ft below me until cleared to
continue climbing. I find it invaluable when out of ATC range or contact and
going into uncontrolled airports.
