 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
This is a normal CH-53 scheme ! Although it is one of two with a large serial and this kind of c/s (the other being the 84+06)Basman wrote:Well, it could be my eyes or my monitor but the green on 85+03 seems very bright, normally CH-53's are sort of a drab green like 84+71 in the first picture. But correct me if I'm wrong (again...).

Yes they are! But I still think that the jolly green c/s of 85+03 is different than the jolly green scheme on 84+71 in the first picture (which I would call the 'normal' c/s). So I searched around a bit on a couple of photo sites and my conclusion would be that the black/green c/s as seen here on 85+03 belongs to the updated CH-53GA updated version. So although it will probably be the 'normal scheme' for the CH-53 in the future, I hadn't seen it yet (as mentioned in my first post).Jolly good pictures!

The Jolly's are flying in 2 or 3 colour scheme's, the green on the 85+03 (display-bird) is one on one the real colour as seen today.......Yes they are!
