Paint job for a plane

[camamel 0]

Is there something on the net to help design our own airplane paint job? Like square one for our main.
What is the best looking skydiving jump ship paint job you ever see? Do you have any pictures?

When you think you're good...this is when you become dangerous.

shark air in parris looks pretty sweet

I've seen a few porters who have the shark teeth scheme

Paint it like the Fandango plane.
I like the pokadot porter and otter too.
Frankenotter is sweet.

No better paint job than the Pink Flamingo. Hands down.

Frankenotter is was sweet (in a sick & twisted sorta way). Didn't that plane finally a few yrs ago actually get a whole new "makeover"?

Fayard is repainting all of his planes. FrankenOtter was one of the first to get repainted. Also in the new Fayard company scheme is the old Captian America from FL. The old Polar Bear 22S I hear is going under the paint gun soon and possibly the Great Barrier Otter also. All the CASA's are now at least White and Blue from what I understand. The Grey one was repainted years ago.

I think I counted 5 different paintjobs on that plane... I wonder what the history is of that plane... Was it built from scratch from the junk yard heap... I mean, I never have seen so many components comming from so many planes...

The rear half of that otter looks like Chicagos's otter. Is that the one that got burned?

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

it's actually working it's way back to being frankenotter. the vertical stab was replaced after some damage at lake wales during it's big storm (can't remember which hurricane it was), and apparently someone forgot to secure the luggage compartment door and it left during flight. the pic was taken in july 2005, so it may have been repainted since.

I really like the paint job on the PAC750xl at SkyDance in Davis. They have some cool paint jobs on the Utility Aircraft Corporation web site as well.

Icarius Aerotechnics-
Mike Fitzgerald was at my d.z. in Canada converting our porter to A-34. (owner of F-GODZ)
and within 1 week was flying back to France.

He spent time showing me beauty pics on his laptop of F-GODZ and huge amount of Porter's painted by same fellow that painted his Icarius logo on F-GODZ.

He explained that Pilatus will only paint the horizontal stripes (not cool for a porter as makes it appear longer than it is)

I forget the name of the painter but Mike had graphics and pics for every step of the job.

The Pink Skyvan is one of my all time favorites. ... did a bunch of jumps from it in 1986 and 1987.

That pink pain tjob makes it easy to spot the Pink Skyvan from miles away, an important safety factor in busy, hazy skies.
The last time I repainted a jump plane, she ended up "Piper Cub yellow," one shade lighter than the Golden Knights definition of "gold."
My next airplane will be canary yellow.

Maybe so, but I'd guess that most Otters are not all original, and have wings and control surfaces from other planes. Before the repaint, they all look like that.

At least Frank has the balls to be who he really is.

In other words, it's a matter of taste then?

Our old Otter. The new one doesn't have nearly as cool a colour scheme .
