To celebrate the 70th anniversary of 323 squadron from the Royal Netherlands Air Force a Dutch F-35 has received special artwork at the tail.
The 323 TES (Test and Evaluation Squadron) is currently stationed at Edwards AFB in California. There the squadron is responsible for the Operational Test & Evaluation of the F-35 for the Royal Air Force. The artwork at the tail shows Diana the Roman goddess of the hunt, who can also be found in the 323 squadron logo.
The silhouettes of the aircraft previously flown by this squadron have also been painted on the tail. These were the Gloster Meteor, Hawker Hunter, Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, Lockheed F-16 and now the Lockheed F-35.
The artworks has been designed by Christy Tortland, an American designer/artist. Its common that the F-16 receive special tail artwork to celebrate an anniversary. This is the first time a Dutch F-35 receives special anniversary markings.
The repaint is for Dino Cattaneo's beautiful F-35 (the latest freeware version (Ver.2.41)). I will upload this repaint soonish..........
Love the F-15 Aggressor schemes Zsolt, keep them coming! BTW, nice work on the F-4's as well. I've always loved the creative schemes the JASDF uses on their planes.
