Red Checkers are dead - long live the Red Checkers!

The RNZAF have just replaced their old red/yellow CT-4's with brand new [black] Texan II's : http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/rnzaf-red-checkers-to-receive-new-black-aircraft-2014110109

 

I'm delighted, as I was never really a fan of the CT-4's - and always thought the name "Red Checkers" was a bit cheesy! Apparently, there'll be a competition as to what to call them. I'm guessing "Black Diamonds", which will be hilarious when they repaint all the aircraft yellow next year :lol:

 

Here's Adrian Brausch's excellent livery for the IRIS version a while back. Did he know something we didn't, I wonder?

All-black aircraft are hard to "photograph"!
