Several CF-18s have served as demo aircraft in multiple years. 188796 did so in 2000 and 2001; this is the later version, painted to mark 410 Sqn’s 60th Anniversary. The tail markings show some of the other aircraft the Cougars have flown.

410 Sqn’s display aircraft wore a Year 2000 scheme in … 2000. I figure this special should have been called the Millennium Bug. ;)

410 Squadron’s demo jet for 1993 was the first CF-18 demo aircraft with airbrushed markings. Given that the previous year’s “special scheme” was a red Maple Leaf tail flash on standard grey markings, this Cougar tail caused a stir when it appeared.

Rainer's photo #38954 reminded me that I had this scan of 38+38 soon after its arrival at the 20th FS. I shot several other F-4Fs that wore the unusual combination of Norm 81B camo and USAF tail codes, but only this one had the colourful ACM panels.
