Amazing desert aggressor colourscheme, please note also the big red star on the tail. The instructors of training squadron VMFAT-101 'Sharpshooters' based at NAS Miramar are using only very few aircrafts painted in this style. This Shooter flight came in for one touch and go only, it surely was one of the highlights during my recent trip to the States.
