I was a pilot for them at the time, and the original scheme was overly simplistic and totally uninspiring. Additionally, it was difficult to keep clean. I proposed a few schemes, and after a LOT of to and fro, this is the one that was chosen. Currently, the scheme is on nearly all RFDS PC-12s in Australia, as well as a growing number of King Air and PC-24 aircraft. Total number of aircraft in RFDS service is over 60, and ultimately, this scheme will  find it&#8217;s way to nearly all of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

However, several of these concepts were incorporated in the new scheme they eventually fielded.
