Probably something to do with the properties of the paint itself not being Radar absorbing or whatnot... Not to mention that in time of war, there may not be the time to repaint for an air wing that is already in theater. Speaking of which, technically we are theoretically still at war in the Mid East with various guys deployed there, dropping bombs, getting shot at, etc. It’s low intensity and rarely makes the news nowadays, but it’s still war for them.

Wow... talk about a whole lotta eye candy. Looks intriguing enough to add to my watch list. Even at $62, it’s a bargain.
