*Fun facts*
1: The aircraft in this video [BuNo 165536] now flies as tail #5 for the Blue Angels Aerial Demonstration Team.
2: My statement of 2 aircraft being painted in Maverick's paint scheme is incorrect. 3 F/A-18s were painted to match the paint scheme of Maverick's Personal F/A-18. These are:
-F/A-18E BuNo. 165536 (The one in this video)
-F/A-18E BuNo. 165667
-F/A-18F BuNo. 165796
BuNo 165667 is flying for the blue angels as tail #6 as of 2023. It has been spotted to be flying as tail #4, 5 and currently tail #6
BuNo 165796's (The F/A-18F) whereabouts are currently unknown, but it is speculated that it remains at NAS Fallon.
3: The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force painted one of its F15J fighters to match Maverick's Paint Scheme. Hobby Master and JC Wings have both released 1/72 versions of this aircraft.
