Caproni Ca.3 (or similar model). The USA flew it also and I think Red Baron 3D had one. There is the similar, later development Ca.36 on display in the US Air Force Museum in Dayton and I saw it during our visit there this last summer.

It seems that this is already a thing. Searches are bringing up numerous sites. Although this seems like a great tool to bring history to life, I can imagine bad actors using it to alter the truth. Looks like we "live in interesting times" as the supposed ancient Chinese curse goes. This is IMHO an example of the benign use of AI:

This is what AI is really good for. I hope to see more of this sort of work.

Posted 12/19/25 This livery depicts a Belgian Air Force C-130H Hercules, Registration: CH-13, c/n 382-4047 which featured a striking paint scheme in 2013 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of C-130 operations with the 20th Squadron and the 65th anniversary of the 15th Wing. The forward fuselage features an overall black background with a portrait of a Native American Chief in full headdress with the starboard vertical fin dedicated to marking 40 years of the Hercules transport aircraft in Belgian service and the port side of the fin commemorated the 65th anniversary of the 15th Air Transport Wing. Features: Engine exhaust re-done from default to more closely replicate exhaust staining which includes flaps, flap wells and trailing edges. Belgian Pilot flight suit. Yes, I know the DCS module is the "J" model which is longer and has 6 bladed composite propellers but I love this paint scheme. Aircraft History: Originally served with the U.S. Air Force as a WC-130E meteorological research aircraft before being acquired by Belgium as a replacement for CH-02, which was destroyed in a fire in 2006. It was formally delivered to the Belgian Air Component on March 17, 2009, making it the newest (in terms of delivery date to Belgium) but oldest (in terms of manufacturing date and prior service time) aircraft in the fleet. CH-13 made its final operational flight and was retired in April 2021. It is the only Belgian C-130 to be preserved and is now a museum exhibit at the Golden Falcon / 1st Wing Historical Centre in Beauvechain. The Folder is too large for user files.

Happy Hannukah (despite Bondi Beach) and Merry Christmas and prayers for more light than darkness in the upcoming year.

Don't do it! Congrats on the new Cadet!

The OG by The Proclaimers is one of my favorites but this is an interesting arrangement.

@NightFlier I'm the same as what @Flyboy posted above. There is also the possibility of Saturdays for me (and probably some of the others) after about 1900 UTC since we have now completed our EIF tournament which ran at that time. That being said, this week is the US Thanksgiving holiday and many (myself included) might be involved with family.
