Hello Everyone. I'm new here, so I guess this is my hello and obviously first post.

I love seeing pictures of fighter jets with art on them or graphics/designs. Does anyone know where I can find such pictures? Or what exactly you would call it to search for?

For example, the other day I say a pilot in a f-16 with a grim reaper throwing cards down. On the cards it had bombs. It said, "All In" or something to that effect. I love seeing those designs. So if anyone could point me in the right place it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

Have you tried Google Image searching for "nose art"? It will mostly get you WW2 era designs. Also usually the squadron leader has the most decorated planes so just find out a squadron number and name and try image searching for that as well.

Here are some pictures of Japanese F-15's in some great paint jobs.

I always like pics of the HAF A-7's, the more beat up and dirtier they are the better looking they are, the A-7 is just that type of aircraft.

Thanks guys, yeah, I liked a few of those. I'm still sort of looking for that "Scary/Wicked" looking graphics though. But, alot of the links you provided me with were great. Thank you.

I found a few I thought was pretty cool last night. I'll post them.

The one I refered to in my first post, about the Joker/Grim Reaper throwing the cards down. Ok, I found the one above I posted, but it's still not the one I am refering to. It was very similiar to the design I just posted on this thread, but alot scarier looking and more detailed. Plus it said something like "All In" or something, instead of "The Last Laugh".

That one is my favorite. In the actual picture you see a full view of the plane with the pilot in it waving. It sucks, because I've seen so many of these in the past when I wasn't looking for them. I thought they were cool and just passed on by. Now that i'm looking for them I'm having a hard time finding the "hardcore" ones. Guess that's how it goes, lol.

But thank you guys so much for putting forth the effort to help me. It's much appreciated.

37 Viggen. :love
The colour scheme on the 4-ship was a standard on the "A2G-Viggens" and "recce-Viggens", some "A2A-Viggens" got the same scheme to mix in some fighter escort.

Old is right, the Phantom recently celebrated 50 years in active service (not many other combat aircraft can claim the same!) and the HAF painted a couple to celebrate.

Before the 340 TFS changed it's A-7's with the new F-16 Block 52+, they painted one A-7 with the squadron's colours, the result is quite impressive.

In the same page there among the rest of the photos there is also a F-104 painted as a...starfighter!

@AegisFC
Take a look in the last photo of the same page! :p you might find something very interesting! ;)

That A-7 got a good paint job, but it was too "clean", to me the A-7 is always meant to be dirty and smeared in grease. The patch at the bottom of the page is very good looking.
