I also like the fact that there will be some homage paid to our brothers and sisters in the USMC with the checkerboard design. The grey paint jobs for Advanced aircraft will also drive home the fact that while you're still in flight school, you are now being trained/molded to fly an operational asset in the very near future. As an orange and white alum, I am bit sad to see it go since it has history in its own right. However, I think it is a great step forward. Plus, ditching the orange and white allows you to keep some style points pulling up to the FBO on your CCX.
