RCAF CF-18 Canada 150 Special 2017 Display Scheme
Posted: 10 Apr 2017, 19:22
Special decoration applied to a McDonnell Douglas CF-188 "Hornet" of the 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron "Alouettes" of the 3rd Squadron Bagotville / 3 Wing of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) based in CFB Bagotville, Quebec with a special decoration to celebrate the 150th birthday of the Confederation of Canada and honour the history of RCAF and Canadian Armed forces as being part of the proud history of Canada.
The specially-painted CF-18 Hornet features the official logo for “Canada 150” placed throughout the design. The logo is composed of a series of diamonds, or “celebratory gems”, arranged in the shape of the iconic maple leaf. The four diamonds at the base represent the four original provinces that formed Confederation in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Additional diamonds extend out from the base to create nine more points. Together, they symbolize Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. On the left wing, the timespan of Confederation is shown with the year of Confederation, 1867, and the 150th anniversary year – 2017. The right wing bears the official name of the celebration – “Canada 150”. All aspects of the design come together to create a truly unique and fitting tribute to this important year in Canada's history.
Unfortunately there are a few mapping issues most notably on top.. im still trying to get it as good as i can!
Much thanks
