I think that WWI and/or WWII planes that are used for airshows or other things get such gay paint schemes, it seems that anyone can get its hands on an old VF in the Macross world, I which thinks were like that in the real world, I would love to have a 30year old retired fighter!
I still think Guppy should make a VF-1 that match the colours of his pet bird
