It was a 4-ship after the show last night. Departed Rwy 27 in 2-ship formation takeoffs at about 1815, and returned to initial on 36L.

It's actually a more interesting story, in that the aircraft had to have the markings removed, on export - but a long story short, with help from WIX, the Canadian Forces, a Canadian decal company and some neat work by T33driver (but don't let him know) the aircraft's original markings (plus one secret one more...) were re-applied.

There's a thread here somewhere...
