Yes, that IS stretching it. I don't think all these BA birds will be built, so we shouldn't ask. However, if anyone is paying attention, the Cutlasses were -1s, the long nose Tigers looked best, and the Blues used to use a T-33 (actually a TV-2) as a support plane for a while. Oh, and a TF-9J would be SWEET in BA colors.
But, again, enough of asking for any more BA aircraft!

What is a TF-9J ?

[Rush104]

A two seat version of the F9F Cougar. Cougars were redesignated F-9 after 1962.

Well I guess it's what dreams are made of:

Don't forget the yellow Bearcat they flew

And did anyone mention that the Blues first plane was the Hellcat, which HM already makes BTW? Oh wait, that's right, no more asking for BA planes...

They actually had a few different paint schemes on the TV-2 Seastar, as it was known in the Navy. 1. The basic Blue Angel Blue with the Blue Angel banner on the tiptank, as shown in the picture posted by SmartD

2. The checkerboard tiptank:



3. The striped tiptank:



4. And a natural metal version:
