Positively uncivil but I feel worthy of posting.
This photo taken by Tony McFarlin shows the Lockheed LC130H 92-1094 c/n 382-5402 on the Deep Freeze apron at Christchurch International Airport yesterday 08-10-2022.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWasYlOs-y08CWGsw70OkyropvW-vA0Qw2pmQM_X_q8tV9xCi01uEOUcsdxK9gCyf_k7pJspMpv9SksFzJ-N9T5TXoI7sM8TbycCbXDrU1xkTsPM7NZgBYNr1R5PcvMoZlM0l4ROagqp8Ijbo7p25D_1JxH3OMgwFs3JEXyAg7XtLG1fBHL9SF2Xukg/w640-h372/92-1094%20LC-130H.%20CH%2008-10-2022%20Tony%20McFarlane.JPG)
It arrived as call sign GUMBY94.
A nocturnal image from Matt Hayes.
The GUMBY reference comes from :-

The aircraft has a picture of said character in the lower left flight deck window !

Its rudder and elevator appear to be in its normal scheme as noted below at Christchurch on 13-11-2019.
Any ideas why they would paint a snowbird emerald green?
