Not a scheme you typically see on an Apache

European countries, for whatever reason, have a different approach to demo aircraft. While US Navy demo aircraft are line jets, and while USAF demo aircraft are specially marked line jets (seen pics of demo aircraft loaded in combat), European nations tend to go for the flamboyant paint schemes. The same can be seen in international Tiger Meets, where US aircraft tend to stick to grays with a flash of color on the tail or T-pod maybe (a couple exceptions I can think of top of my head) while Euro countries go all out with all encompassing schemes.

Well, I just thought it was interesting since it strays greatly from the typical green Apaches we're used to seeing. I did like those all gray Apaches the SC guard had for a while though.
