I read where they did a study that the best camo against the sky (opposite

second best, gray.


I tend to doubt that. The U.S. military did not hesitate to fly pink aircraft out
of North Africa in WW II. The color worked well against the sand of Tunisia; not
so well against the skies of Italy and Rumania.

I don't know that an F-15 fully armed and painted pink instills much fear.


Well, if you aren't scared of it and need to be, you die. Doesn't matter what
color it is.
