I never have understood why anyone would paint a plane in camouflage paint then paint bright stripes and a target on it!  [/quote]
Thats because the army are cr@p at aircraft recognition and would fire at anything in the sky unless it was clearly distinguished by (in this case) the black and white stripes painted on for the Normandy landings. And even then, the army still shot at them.
The Navy has an excuse in that any tw@t who wants to barrel in at a ship in a provocative manner deserves a salvo or two. I am sure that Conan would agree with me!
