Milviz F-4J Blue Angels Interest?

[Odie]

Thanks Tom! Early airshow memories include fond ones of watching the BA's and Thunderbirds when they were flying the Phantom. Sitting at the end of Barksdale AFB's runway, it was a bone-rattling afternoon as those big F-4s went thru their paces! Afterward, you would of course have to pick up whatever bones were rattled out of your skin and have Mom put them back in place!!!

This may not be necessary, but I could drive down to the Blue Angel's hangar (about 45 minutes from me), and ask them exactly what the Mil-Spec paint number should be? I have no idea if this would somehow equate to colors used in simulation, but let me know if this is something you'd like me to investigate. NC

The FS numbers are - or are supposed to be - Blue: FS15050 and Yellow: FS13538, for those who have the FS paint chips.

This suggests to me that the aircraft were in a gloss(ish) finish.

I'd like to know if or how is it possible to have the aircraft in a clean config when it is selected and you push the fly now button. Otherwise, all this hardware is loaded on it and I have
to strip all the hardware, then, with the load manager, add the AIM7's....or do we have to use the load manager regardless? Right now it is loaded for bear and I'd prefer a slick clean version of the
Blues Bird then maybe add the AIM7 smokes.

Any interest in a repaint of the Milviz F-4J in the colors of the Blue Angels? The number 7 is pictured but all the tail numbers have been done.
