These are from when I was at Patuxent River, and one onboard the Independence during the 1983 deployment. The B-26 belonged to Calspan Corp., and was contracted to provide flights to the pilots going through the Test Pilot School.

Very nice. A-26, and F-4 Phantom. Even some A-7 action. Their paint scheme's sure have changed over time that is for sure.
 
Some are drifting back, but I don't think it will ever be the way it used to be. There was some sharp paint schemes back then. I have a great book that highlights the colorful ones from the 60's and early 70's.
