The camouflage isn’t very flashy – though it is practical – but if you’re looking for flashy, are you aware of the annual NATO Tigers event? I think France started it. A number of countries send an aircraft or two, and at some point, they started putting flashy paintjobs on them for the duration of the event, often with a tiger or at least big cat theme. Someone – Germany, I think – had at least one year where they had someone in a tiger fursuit, and a tiger-painted support car, to go with multiple tiger-painted aircraft.
EDIT: Neither the chick from the German airforce in the tiger bodysuit nor the dude in the tiger suit in that gallery is what I remember seeing pictures of, so I expect that there have been a number of occasions.
EDIT2: Some higher-resolution shots than they have on that gallery from various years and various countries:

I think that this one is actually a leopard or cheetah:

I hadn’t heard of this, but it is absolutely amazing. Thank you for telling me about it!
