HB-RVS is a former Swiss Air Force Hawker Hunter Mk.58 repainted in a celebratory livery when Fliegerstaffel 15 (15th Fighter Squadron) was disbanded in 1993: HB-RVS photos in the DB
It's privately-owned, and not operated by the Swiss Air Force. Should I choose "Special Scheme" anyway when uploading?
Special scheme = "special or celebratory" ? It certainly counts as celebratory so I agree in this case, special scheme. One of those borderline decisions that does no harm to be accepted as special.
If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
That was exactly my doubt... I thought that only military/state-owned aircraft and aircraft belonging to airlines could be considered special colors. Since HB-RVS is owned by a "flying museum", I thought it could be considered an "expensive general aviation plane" (I have many photos of elaborate and colorful general aviation liveries, and I know that I mustn't check "Special scheme" when I upload them).
However, according to the owner's website (German-only, I hope Google Translate was accurate enough!), this livery was applied during the very last days this airframe served with the Swiss Air Force, so that would make it a "military special scheme".
Checking other HB-RVS photos in the DB didn't help either, since half of them is marked "Special scheme" while the other half isn't
