Default Thinking About Air Force Paint Scheme

I went down a few weeks ago and I was thinking about paint schemes I might want to do. The first thing that popped into my mind was an Air Force jet inspired paint scheme. What do you guys think? Any ideas?

i think it may look like your typical bike that has a white/gray camo theme. Unless you do something unique on it that represents the air force, cuz people won't even know it's inspired by the air force.

a couple ways to go there...flat green (like a modern day c130) w/a pin up girl...or, gray with the blue star in a white circle (or is it the other way around?) and some red, white and blue stripes...maybe throw on some sharks teeth, like the flying tigers used...maybe throw on some "kill" markers...

Lots have people have gone for the military look; I was going to go camo for mine, but its fightered, so I don't have much of a 'canvas' to work with.

http://i18.tinypic.com/868njau.jpg = SWEEEEEET. I am sooo far away from being anywhere near involved with the armed forces, but that just looks awesome.

That is SWEET! Do you guys think this would look good in either dark grey/light grey or flat black/bark grey with a few AF emblems on them?

I'm interested to see the riveted look.

Thanks for everything...

Yes, paint in like that in gray, airbrush in some rivets, and add some AF decals. I think it'd be cool.

Tollfree...I have also considered an "Airforce" theme. I think that would be BADASS! Some kind of flat "Airforce Grey" with rivets and panels painted in (maybe even some guns). You would have a truly unique paint job...
