Interesting camo patterns of CzAF 🇨🇿. THREAD.
Seems like you really liked Vipers in standard CzAF pattern, now lets look at some unusual camo patterns used by Czech Air Force. Both fixed wing and rotary wing. 1/x
Lets start with Gripens. This one (1st and 2nd pic) got this paint scheme back in 2018, as part of celebration of 100 years of CzAF. Second one is using "NATO tiger" camo scheme to present 211st tactical squadron as part of NATO Tiger Association. 2/X
L-159 ALCA. This is really interesting one. Let me present to you L-159 ALCA "Spitfire". I believe mainly Brits (@thinkdefence @nicholadrummond ) will appreciate that. It got this paint as a memorial of Czech pilots in service of RAF during WW2. 3/x
We continue with ALCA. One model got this Digital camo pattern as a appreciation of 20 years of L-159A in service of CzAF. 4/x
Next is Mi-24/35 helicopter of 221st helicopter sqn. Here you have "ALIEN TIGER" that won the best camo pattern competition during NATO Tiger Meet 2016. (but it isnt the only Hind that got some repaint - last pic) 5/x
Lets end this with Mi-171 of 222nd helicopter sqn. This paint job is documenting three camo patterns used by CzAF, from tail (oldest) to front (currently used) 6/x
