Description

Excerpt from VF-4 Lightning III 2012-2047: 35 Years of Service

Figure A (101/299032) The VF-4 Lightning III entered service in 2012, beginning with the equipping of SVF-1 Skull Squadron, based on the carrier Prometheus and stationed at the Macross landing site on Earth. Most of the initial craft, part of the low-rate initial production order, were assigned that squadron, totalling around 20 at the time of SVF-1's embarkation on the Megaroad-01 colony mission. They were painted in a new high-visibility scheme replacing the wartime black and white and carried modified Skull markings. This picture displays the personal craft of squadron commander Hikaru Ichijyo at the time of the launch in the new scheme. Also shown is a variant scheme on the same craft shown in a broadcast a few years later for the anniversary of the launch. It is unknown to the authors currently why the plane was repainted in these colors.
