Ever since the invention of radio, we identify aircraft electronically.

Oh. Well your military doesn't get 80% of the National Budget?

And also, that has been long outdated and Tipidemican Aircraft has a special light formation on their side that lights up when a radio is down to signal they are Tipidemican. That makes Tipidemican Aircraft seem much more useful.

Pilots put LEDs on their logo to light it up during the night so it can function 24 hours a day, rather than a mere 12.

do you put Christmas ornaments on the planes too? it would match the lights, and the time of year. (kidding)

We let the pilots decide that. Although nearly none of them celebrate holidays this time of year. Mainly because they think Christianity, or many other religions are merely unsophisticated and bring only violence.

This is the main insignia of the Luftwaffe and the Air Arm of the Kriegsmarine:

A Swastika is imprinted on the tailfin of the aircraft, as shown here:

It's an old aircraft though, long out of Luftwaffe service, but you get the idea.

I have to say, you're by far the best at RPing a modern Nazi nation I've seen. Right down to the national motto.

in Herminia, gays are given the honour of executing communists

you truly are an enlightened nation

Zis nation has elements of magic, oppressed Nichtmenschen, and Nazi Super Science, zere is no realism with me
