The aircraft is painted in the way because this is the way the aircraft was painted at Hurlburt Field. It was used to train U-10 pilots going to South East Asia. This has been confirmed by US Army Aviation records painstakingly researched by the owner at the US Air Force Museum. This airplane is a joy to fly.

This is actually a U-10A that was the first one delivered to the U.S. Air Force in 1961, however I disagree with the "camo" period paint scheme in that we had yet to be involved officially in Viet Nam. No military aircraft were painted with this application until 1964. All Helio aircraft delivered to the CIA for covert ops were all bare metal and no star and bar.

These puppies have full-span leading edge devices for amazing short field performance.

Now that's a cool catch! I can't remember the last time I've seen a Helio!
