Exactly, what pointless tail art is that?
Multiple units all over the world have honorable merits from their nations. None of them blast it as tail art. No one knows what this is or really cares,

Agree, there is need of slight modification, Lonely start look better

One has to admire the cost effective aka cheap avionics bay design as well. Plumbing is visible without caring about aesthetics or at covering it up in a proper way

Where?
Can you pin point?

Sir, the US products, whether the F-16 or a simple Laptop, are designed with great presentation in mind, there is significant amount of money spent to ensure that the layout is "user friendly" as well as "camera friendly" with great aesthetics, and no ugly low class pain job, wiring harnesses, etc, are visible.

There are some pics on here of the JFT cockpit (real pics). Next to the flight control, throttle, etc, you can see some Styrofoam or some protecting sheet in green color. I asked the gentlemen when he posted the pics that this looks low grade and he said they "make do" with going cheap. So you'll rarely find a US competition in presentation anywhere. In the pics above, you can clearly see Rust on the Migs and even in some pics, on Chinese SU's. But you won't find that on typical "camera front" US aircraft as they take pride in maintaining the plane, her paint, and the overall presentation to a naked eye.

Why so orange? and not good orange... Orange orange

Because they might be travelling at sea at some part of their journey. Also flying over snow packed Karakoram and Himalya regions make orange more easily spotable than in traditional light dirty green cover alls in case of (GOD FORBID) any ejection.

Nice pic's , why are the wearing orange flight suits ?

Standard suits issued to 2sq due to their maritime role.

No big deal. Covering means additional cost + additional weight without any addition to performance. Not sure if the cable is from RADAR, in which case it is not recommended to bend them as it affects signal performance.
