I dont think that aircraft has been in the air for quite a while. It kinda looks like it has been abandoned.

I prefer the look of a used aircraft, rather than one that's shiny and fresh out the paint shop, but that just takes the biscuit. Grin

Acoording to the other pics of this one, it hasn't been flying for quite a while.

And I doubt they'd let it take of this dirty, since the increase in fuel consumption will be way more expensive than a quick wash.

It's not as dirty as some of Air France's aircraft... even some AF textures for FS have dirt as standard.. Tongue

There used to be a floatplane (a Seawind I think) that parked outside of my Dad's house when he lived on a lake, that had parts held on with duct tape, and it even sank a couple of times, but it's still out there flying. Tongue

Well all the DSB GR.4s look like that!

And the Ukrainians are too poor to get a decent paint job.

And as for the F-4F.... most likley the last to the the F-4ICE upgrade.

Air france and US air are both notorious for having really dirty planes.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. But I have to say there is a significant difference between airplanes that are dirty from extensive use and those that are dirty from a lack of use.
