LOL

YEs, and I painted more than a few Duce and halfs the same *itty pink. BUt it sure works out fine in the Desert - if you watch out for shadows, it is all but impossible to see from the air.

“COurse an F-4 doing 350KIAS isn’t going to see much on the ground anyway.....

I read somewhere once that the reason those vehicles were pink is that they painted them a sand color that subsequently became pink when exposed to the harsh desert sun. The statement may be wrong, but I did read that somewhere.
