Default Military Paint Schemes

Not sure, exactly, what it would be in violation of. Service rules,
probably,
but they don't apply to civvies. Few people would understand what the
tail
codes mean, anyway. The N-number tells any service member that it's a
privately
owned aircraft.

Strangely enough, one of the local car forums I'm on had a recent
discussion
about police-like paint jobs. Some state codes include restrictions on
police-like markings for non-police vehicles. Seems like the same thing,
really. Betcha if you flew an intercept with a USAF-marked L-39, you'd
hear
about it....


That makes sense. Without the proper IFF equipment and codes, the
requirement to give a heads-up to the FAA wherever you go, and the
demilitarization process the risk of foul play is probably minimal.
