kevin922 0 #1 March 5, 2003 I've noticed some experimental airplanes painted up to say "ARMY" or "USAF" on them, also seen some Cubs and whatnot painted that way. Is this legal? Is there anything wrong wiht putting the USAF and the AF logo on wings of things that are obviously not air force property? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charliezulu 0 #3 March 5, 2003 Good question. You always see vintage planes with the replica paint jobs from whatever period, complete with the "kill" decals, but you're talking about new experimental stuff too. CZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK the only legal issue would be impersonation, which is not an issue with antiques or homebuilts or model airplanes.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

quade 4 #5 March 5, 2003 THIS article talks about wearing uniforms, but clearly that's a slightly different case than painting your airplane. THIS article actually explains why some people may do this and how to spot a phoney Navion L-17. There is probably some obscure international law somewhere that I can't find about having civil aircraft in military paint schemes, but my guess is that as long as it's not going to be used to attack a foreign country, nobody's really going to care.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
