Is there some reason we don't deploy more interesting military attack aircraft livery -- the paint scheme applied to aircraft?

SSG Pete Fleming - Well . . . this could be a labor of love by the ground crew. Or I suspect it may be just as cheap as the standard manufacturer subdued green / grey, or the standard camouflage aircraft livery. Then again, I can certainly think of quite a few individuals and small business shops that are women / minority owned or situated in an economically disadvantaged area who would be proud to offer you an exceptional quality original or conversion paint job for few pennies on the dollar . . . and provide some unassailable armed security for the aircraft while performing the upgraded livery / paint job.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - In some instances ( e.g. Benghazi ) the goal is to scare the dickens out of the opposition ground troops . . . so they disappear back into the hillsides without a fight . . . in these situations camouflage may be counter productive. Sandy
