All SF50s have ADS-B out and in. Shouldn’t be that hard to spot even against an urban background.

Agreed... when I look at aerial photos of crash sites in trees or rough terrain, even though I know an airplane is there... it's tough to spot. If you're concerned about being found; the louder the better - visually or electronically or both.

Every party has a pooper that's why we invited you.

Interestingly, orange is NOT a very visible colour from a SAR perspective. Research indicates that BLUE is much more visible throughout most of North America. I'm talking "cheap woven plastic tarp" blue. It's a very unnatural colour and it stands out.

A little investigation into how the human eyeball works also reveals that blue is easier to spot in low light, whereas our ability to perceive colours toward the red end of the spectrum is the first to degrade as we make the shift from day to night vision.

Notwithstanding the above, my airplane is white and red and polished aluminum. I'm hoping the sun glinting off the airplane might attract attention! :scratch:

Well, I know the owner's name and address and at least one business he's associated with.

I created an AI search engine that "finds things".

This was a good one, took almost 10 minutes from putting in the N-number.

Looks like he went from an SR22 to the SF50. Amazing how data links together.

I like it also. Seen it a few times on the FaceTubes
That digital-esque camo helps break up the guppy lines and hide the nit riding between the V.

I think a scheme like this is what I will want on my Bolshevik Bonanza to break up the ungainly lines.

Using paint to your advantage is smart!
And Fun.

No one will see him if he lands on pavement near concrete buildings though!

If I had an SF50 I’d paint it like an orca. Accentuate it’s lines, not hide them. Kids would love it.

I wish could have its relative. Guess I’ll buy the model :sad:

Great Cirrus paint,hope Signature doesn’t make you disarm it.

It looks like a Navy VFC-13 paint scheme.

Very cool.

Cool scheme. It actually makes an ugly airplane look cool. Also, who worries about what an airplane will look like after a crash? That’s bad karma.

I would be more worried about being visible in the air. Not everyone has ADSB in.
The choice of paint scheme and registration number would not be mine.

An amazing SF50
