Great painting! Is this the standard camo or only the season one?

it's only for the meeting,
their nickname Tigers came from the time they were aboard the Clémenceau Aircraft carrier (before the Charles De Gaulle). Georges Clémenceau was the head of government during WW1 (former interior minister) and was nicknamed "Le Tigre" for his relentlessness during the war.

Thanks!
I didn't know that nickname. In the 1970's, I used to watch the TV series "Les Brigades du Tigre" (with Commissaire Valentin
). I should connect that "Tigre" with Georges Clemenceau...

A striking paint scheme, very cool. I had no idea the French Navy was still flying the Super E in active service, I thought it would have been replaced by the Rafale by now.2 Super Etendarts fighters from the French Navy participating the NATO meeting over Norway.
