46.F-15 Eagle
This Oregon National Guard F-15 Eagle is a superb illustration of how military aircraft may combine outstanding beauty with operational capability. Maintaining the nose's natural colour while using dramatic paint schemes elsewhere produces an interesting visual contrast that improves the whole design. With colours and patterns both eye-catching during aerial demonstrations and photologically striking for marketing, the paint job is especially successful for its intended dual-purpose use in aerobatics and marketing. The way the design honours the original characteristics of the aircraft and introduces unique aspects reveals a sophisticated awareness of military aviation aesthetics. Excellent attention to detail in the colour selections and pattern application produces a visual identity fit for its ceremonial and demonstrative purposes. This paint scheme effectively strikes a compromise between the fighter's professional military look and enough flair to make it stand out at public events and air displays.
