Low viz markings for helis?
« on: November 17, 2008, 09:03:59 pm »
Are there any plans to put low-viz markings on the AC helis?

I'm thinking specifically of 'AIR CORPS' in low-viz black on the tail booms.

I saw a pic of an AW139 today in 'Flying In Ireland' and thought that it looked a bit plain with just the roundel for identification.
Plus actually putting 'AIR CORPS' might, (and I stress MIGHT), lead to reporters calling them 'Air Corps' instead of 'Army' helicopters?!

I'm not clear why you would add markings as you suggest.  The black serials on the AW139s are already difficult to read unless close up and preferably also in sunlight.
