Re: New Osprey on US C-47/R4D Units
Thanks. I will get in touch if the next project gets to proceed,
In those days, it was easier to keep things away from the camera. It took about 30 years for a photo of that unlovely aircraft, the RB-45 Tornado, in RAF markings to see print.
I suspect the airplanes only got their black paint on an as-needed basis.
BTW, today the US Southern Command uses Basler-powered C-47s for transport associated with counter-narcotics operations for the obvious reason that while a USAF C-130 will attract attention on an Andean airstrip, a civil-marked Gooney Bird would be more common.
