Is it for aesthetic or there is other significant reason for it. Some fighter aircraft or special operation purpose aircraft spotted a dark grey or matte black camouflage.
The well known Stealth aircraft F-117A spotted with black finished because its has to operated in total darkness and its suitable for that purpose because its more a bomber than a fighter. Moreover it is covered by some kind of material known as 'RAM' or radar absorbing material.
On special operation aircraft like MC-130E Hercules. Its having a black finish over all but the upper surfaces. All serves two purposes; first to absorb radar signals and second to reduce visual acquistion during the highly classified missions during the night.
Aha..Here come the puzzling part, are they really exits; paint that absorbed radar signature or what ever. Probably its exits, then why certained aircraft having a dark grey paint although they served more on daylight. For example certain F-15C having dark grey while some lighter. The famous F-15E having dark grey overall, they served at night and daylight.
More puzzling the RMAF MiG-29N when first delivered having a Russian air superiority camouflage the light grey and lightgreen, then after.. I don't know what probably after gone servicing by ATSC the company who handled maintenance of MiG aircraft in this region, it gone wild spotted dark grey like F-15E. So is there any purposes of it? MiG-29N is a fighter like the Russian counterpart, but the Russian never ( haven't seeing theirs in dark grey yet) done it. Light grey supposed to protect aircraft from preying eyes in the event of dogfight. Light grey tend to blended well with clouds and sky, proven by the British aircraft researcher, or is it some kind of radar absorbing paint that they applied on it?, then where can you get one?
I'll be going for holiday for a couple of day, will see you then.
