Most military aircraft are painted grey to help hide them when sitting on tarmac. Though with today’s technogical advances - that’s near enough impossible!

Until recently Israeli air force He would paint the airplanes in Camouflage
AH-64 For example

But in the past 3 years aircraft Arrive in a gray color same as C130J F35

I think it’s more beautiful with camouflage

Wow! Awesome spot. Thats a very old bird indeed. Cant believe the 707 still is in service.
