A friend has an L-39 in full "Blue Angels #7" paint scheme. He asked
them for permission and was told that he could paint it any way he
wanted, but that they really did not approve.

At airshows where the Blues fly they shun him; the Thunderbirds LOVE it,
however!

I don't see why they wouldn't like it. It's free promotion. I guess it also
depends on the type of aircraft. Painting a Cherokee like a Blue Angel seems
a bit less cool than an L-39.
