Holiday Cheer From Above
This is a stunning example of military Christmas spirit, with the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II design serving as a jolly contrast to its ordinarily dull color scheme. Just look at how much Christmassy goodness has been added to this plane, with its wreathed wings and reindeer-adorned engines. Seeing this Santa-worthy colossus against a snowy landscape makes for a rousing juxtaposition. Maybe instead of launching explosive missiles, they could equip some ballistic Christmas crackers?
Next up we have another inspiring A-10 design, but this time with a more classical spin.

The Terror Of The Skies
Enough of this cheery nonsense, let us return to the A-10’s more appropriate wartime appearance! This olive drab green scheme, complete with a snarling monster nose job, is nothing short of fearsome. Among all the creative designs in this list, we just had to include this traditionally warlike paintjob which terrorists flee in terror from. Adding personality to military craft is a fantastic way to make pilots feel braver, and enemies more terrified.
That is enough warfare aesthetics for now, let us return to the dazzling side of aircraft!
