hey everyone these r some shots of the amazing sea vixen it is however painted in the colors Of Red Bull and not in her original colours (or something like that) now some people seriously object to that but to my opinion if its the only way to keep them flying please do so what do u think?



This bird is really pretty

Ive seen that close up, its very metalic.
Shame to spoil it like that..
But it looks nice when its going very fast.
Looks abit ugly when its not moving, as u can see the bull.

Just a side note: Could you please stick to proper english spelling and grammar? I'm really sick of seeing all those 'r's (instead of 'are'), 'u's (instead of 'you') and those postings written as one sentence, without periods and commas.

It's called "text speak" and was actually banned on another forum I used to visit. Maybe it's something we could employ here, because lets face it, it looks childish.
Not to ruffel anyone's feathers you understand.
Nice plane btw!

Considering the trouble they had trying to get permission to fly the aircraft I'm glad its flying, whatever the colours...

I saw this Sea Vixen at an airshow last september. When you see and here this thing flying then you don't care what color it is. It's a good thing that There are companies that want to keep aircraft like this flying.

... and generous individuals. I'm someone who'd not mind seeing the Vulcan in some garish corporate scheme, as long as it flew...

Personally I have no problem with textspeak, I also type 80wpm, so I have no problem typing out full messages however, a lot of people are "hunt and peck" and use textspeak to speed up their typing so should be given the benefit of a doubt. But thats only my humble opinion

I agree that text speak is ridiculous. Of course, I also type 80 wpm, so I wonder if there's a connection there....interesting observation.
As for corporate logos on aircraft...it's a great idea, but it's just another example of the type of thing that drives me up the wall. ;)

The scenery is Lelystad from nl2000. This is the place where I saw this bird flying. It was during the last airshow there. It was a great day. And on behalf of the language question, I blame msn
