![why green camo for an airplane?](http://www.pxleyes.com/images/contests/pretty-planes/fullsize/pretty-planes-51f0885cddaa2.jpg)
McDonnell F-4C Phantom parked for display. The F-4 achieved legendary status as a warplane in combat. This one holds many honors and was retired in 1987. I do not know why some airplanes have green camo paint. (5 years and 2240 days ago)

love this
Thanks!
Nice take on the theme
Thank you!
This is one great shot !! Its fairly easy to capture animals and insects that are camouflaged due to that is the way they were created so as not to become prey, and also allow them to be predators. But this one here was so much more creative. Good luck, author !!
Appreciate the thoughtful comment!

Because, when it's landed on the ground and you watch it from the sky (in another plane), it looks like the grass, the forest, the ground.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
Thank you for the comment. It sounds right but at the same time to me it still seems more people on the ground shoot at planes than observers looking down on it. But I do not know about these war things.
Artifakts is right, but it also applies if the plane is in flight. If you're in a fighter and want the advantage attacking another plane, you often try to start from a higher altitude so you can dive down on them. If the plane is flying over greenish terrain, it would be harder to spot.
