Yes, but looks less "stickerish". I think it looks great!
Cheers,

"There is no accounting for taste" as they say, but oh my *** what an ugly scheme in my opinion....
Nice scoop though Jimmy!

I think it looks good, certainly a lot better than last year's scheme.

Still not that good, the Klu can do better (look at the F-16 demo) but way better than the awfull stickers from last year.

Uhm guys,

I think they did pretty good regarding the conditions of time, lack of money and place that was allowed to repaint (read Resticker)...A paintscheme is never satisfied for everyone, I can remember that most of us didn't like the orange lion the way it is now (way to flashy in certain eyes). Now we are used to flashy stuff, they are saying it's to "dull" perhaps?

We are very spoiled with the airforce still maintaining 2 demoteams for the 2011 season, it could have been so much worse (none perhaps?). So give it a while and see it fly, prehaps it will turn out for the better for us photographers?? If i have it correctly, then flares could be a bit better captured because of the bounce of a glossy grey body, which will illuminate it better?

Cheers,
