The Oregon National Guard has adorned one of its F-15E warplanes with a colorful artwork of a bald eagle, a representation of the state’s beauty. This fighter jet is appreciated for its remarkable capacity and offensive ability. It was first brought into use in 1972, and it is still in use by both the U.S. Air National Guard and the U.S. Air Force.

It was lucky for us that we managed to film the Dutch Air Force’s aerobatics squad flying the F-16s. Additionally, they also had the AH-64D Apache Solo Display Team and the AH-64 Apache on display. The F-16 in the picture is a stunning example of an incredible performance, with its usual orange colour. Unfortunately, we have not been able to observe the Dutch team in action prior to their retirement. Nevertheless, we still have some remarkable helicopter models in our collection!

To honor the arrival of a Boeing 747 with the character Waldo of “Where’s Waldo?” (or “Where’s Wally?”) fame, Richard Branson, the leader of Virgin, wore a costume that imitated the cherished symbol.

The paint job was to honor the 25th anniversary of the well-known bespectacled children’s character.

Due to his typically unassuming presence on the plane, you had to be vigilant to locate him.
