One of the first aircraft repainted for the Centennial of Naval Aviation back in 2011, and then repainted again in a special Texas homage scheme.

As Frank mentioned in the next post the video was from a previous T-45 crash. I should have checked the date on screen.. my bad

Is that this crash, or an earlier one? Date on the video is not 16 august 2022.. it is given as 24 march 2021! Still, a good thing the crew could eject.
