That's an interesting scheme on XR753, I assume it was painted like that specifically for the airshow reason maybe @wingman5 can shed some light.... & I'm glad you're enjoying the repaints, the T4 prototype is finished but I've had some computer issues recently so all being well I can upload it tomorrow

Hi Cameron,

I think the scheme was for the 1983 airshow season.  I'm not sure if it was a special airshow scheme or had some military use.  I think there is a repaint of that very jet in the F3 pack.

     Aye, the scheme was just one of the standard variations ( if you can have such a thing?) . It was designated as that seasons aero's aircraft so the AEROS 83 was added . Mike and the aircraft were sadly lost when he crashed into the sea whilst doing an impromptu display off Scarborough bay...... and yes I did a repaint of it .

It was parked at our local airport in Olympia, WA.  Not sure what happened to it or even how it got there.

 

Any ideas on it's origin?

Hmm..  thanks for that.

One more question.  How did they transport it so far?  It doesn't look like its in flying condition.

I'll have to ask the new museum administrator if they still have it.
