You probably do, but they're subtle. It's the normal tail code with a white back shadow. Sometimes the color tag at the top will look a little different.



Check out the middle jet.

Back when AWACS jets were assigned to the squadrons, each sq's color was at the top of their jets. The flagship had all of them. When the jets were organized according to the three AMUs (Red, White, and Blue), the AMU's color was at the top. I'm not sure what they are now since Blue was shut down a few years back...probably still red and white bars at the top.

This is somehow actually worse than no flagship at all.

It's been that way since at least the mid-80s.

Working it was horrendous. The only upside was getting to crawl around inside a B-17 before the crowds got in. Holy gently caress the ball turret is small in person.

I used the published specification for the cargo hold of a C-130 as the volume and divided that by the volume of a ping pong ball. Although a ping pong ball is a sphere, and therefore you won't actually fit 3.14 million of them into just the cargo area of the aircraft, the volume of a sphere is about 70% of a cube with equivalent dimensions. I think it's fair to say that the cargo hold represents 70% of the total internal volume of a C-130, give or take, so it's still a fair estimate.

Of course, there's only one way to find out for certain.

Not a bad estimate. Close-packing of equal spheres gives a 74% packing density.

Some colonel will make them smash them all flat to get the air out allowing for 18 times more to be flown in, and then have two e-3's refill them all with a pair of contractor procured syringes at a cost of $1.2 mil a piece, 4 will have been ordered, 2 will have been delivered, 7 will have been paid for. They will not form enough vacuum when pulled back to fill the balls without at least 4 attempts or the e-3's breaking down and trying to blow them up with their mouths.

that'd be bugger-all though. The bigger problem is getting the last few hundred thousand in without parking the thing on it's nose. Ping-pong balls don't stack very well.

Vertical nets perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and you can basically pump the things through a dryer hose using an air compressor - they use them sometimes to refloat sunken boats.

You'd still have some space at the top I'm sure but the thing would be pretty drat full.
